No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Put together a list of possible interview questions from SDN and practiced answering them, watched the DVD that the school sent, read about the DO program on the school's website, read about the history and philosophy of osteopathic medicine on AACOM, reviewed what I wrote in my primary &amp; secondary essays &amp; what I had on my resume

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed happy, supportive of each other. The facilities are good. The campus is pretty.

What impressed you negatively?

We didn't get a chance to see what the on-campus apartments looked like during the tour. However, we did see a dorm.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The student tour guides had us tromp all over campus, including a walk through some woods and up and down several flights of stairs instead of taking the elevator, so I wished I had worn more comfortable shoes.

What are your general comments?

Overall, pleasant, relaxed, positive.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
