How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, interview feedback, talked to current students, looked at all of the materials that I sent to the school.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are A+. The students seem very happy here. There are lots of opportunities to interact with other classes and schools. The curriculum is one of the best that I have seen in terms of scheduling (mornings only, mostly). Lots of clinical experience early on in PCM.

What impressed you negatively?

OHSU Step 1 board scores are around the national average. This was a real downer for me. What good is the innovative curriculum if it doesn't prepare you for boards? The tuition is pretty expensive too.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How rainy it is in Portland.

What are your general comments?

Great concept in terms of curriculum and environment is fabulous, but I have my doubts whether it is the right place for me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
