How did you prepare for the interview?

AT Still brochure, read their website, Student Doctor Network, read some ethical stuff online, talked to the student I stayed with...

What impressed you positively?

Everything! They were so nice and well organized. There were two interviews that were one hour long each and the interviewers were really nice, positive and laid back and made me feel welcome. The technology and the rich history in osteopathy is phenomenal. Students also do really well on their boards.

What impressed you negatively?

The town is kind of dull, but quaint! I don't know how big a fan I am of letter grades instead of just a pass or fail, but 70 is passing and the students were saying their class has generally been doing well...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I was happily surprised and impressed from what I learned.

What are your general comments?

It was awesome! The day began with an intro session and then with two hour-long interviews and a 20 minute talk with an admissions counselor. Next we had lunch, an OMT demonstration, a financial aid talk and a tour. Everyone was really positive and I was so impressed!!!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
