Nice campus in a good suburb, good facilities. It's a top DO school, so 100% match rates, 50% Osteo, 50% Allo, 60% speciliazing. Great hospital clerkships.

Report Response | I was asked this too

Curriculum is very stressful. Two 7:30am exams each week, 8hrs of lecture per day.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The admissions committee only meets once a month, so if you interview at the begining of the month you'll have to wait weeks to get a decision.

What are your general comments?

The interview itself was great, one of the most enjoyable I've had so far. All three interviewers were very responsive and friendly. The day itself wasn't very scheduled. After the brief intro and financial aid presentation you just sit in the library and wait around for everyone to interview. You can check your e-mail or wander around, but no additional info about the school. Occaisionally a student pops in for some Q&A, which is really nice. By the time we got to the cafeteria for lunch most of the food was gone. Literally, one piece of pizza, a couple ladles of one soup left, half bowl of salad. Eat a big breakfeast.
