How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN feedback, reading online about the school

What impressed you positively?

Everything! the rotation sites, the board scores, the facilities, the staff and students are very friendly, the curriculum is awesome

What impressed you negatively?

The President gave a speech about the history of osteopathy to ''prepare us for the interview.'' I thought that this wasn't necessary. Hopefully they are only the students who were truly interested in osteopathy, anyway, so they shouldn't feel the need to ''coach'' us.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would love the school so much

What are your general comments?

It was pretty laid-back (as we were continually assured throughout the day) but it was not the most laid back interview ever. The two interviewers were a current professor and an alumnus who was also a part-time prof. The alumnus was a little confrontational and asked most of the questions. I felt a little like he was trying to trip me up, but I think, looking back, that he was just trying to make sure that I was right for the school (and vice versa) by really grilling me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
