Why DO? Why CCOM? You live close to CCOM, have you visited the campus before? Ethical question: If your preceptor during clinical rotations asks you to prescribe medication for a patient, how would you deal with the situation?...What if she insists that you do it, even if you say no?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students were all excited to be there. They all said the curriculum was real tough but they enjoyed studying there. The campus is beautiful (although the bulidings are small)...but very nice landscape. The campus is in a foresty area which is nice..and its really peaceful in campus. The facilities are very new, and only 4-5 people to a cadaver. Great rotations. Library is nice and quiet. The whole day was well organized.

What impressed you negatively?

I didnt like the new gym they have built - its kinda small and murky...but its still a gym. There are lots of geese around and they crap everywhere. Classes are from like 8-5 everyday, and exams at 7:30AM twice a week...im not a morning person. The tuition is huuge! 38G for instate, 42 for out-of-state...and the financial aid is bad.

What are your general comments?

Have to check in by 7:45AM. I was there by 7:30, and almost everyone in my group were already there when I got there. There were about 11 people in my group. There was a table with water, coffee and nutri-grain bars, and we could help ourselves. At promptly 8AM, we were taken into a library conference room, and an admissions counselor came in and talked about what the day was going to be like - she also walked us thru the sheets of paper given in the folder they provided. The folder contained info about the curriculum, rotation hospitals, matchlists, and the schedule for the day. The group then split into half (they had already determined who was in which group). Then, starting at 8:30AM, one group interviewed and the other group had a financial aid presentation...then the groups switched. I interviewed first, and it was by an MD, PhD and an M3. They were all really nice, and tried to make you comfortable! They joked around and even threw in a few of their stories about their experiences as I gave my responses. However, the girl who interviewed after me was apparantly grilled on ethical questions by the PhD...I was surprised cuz I only got one ethical question from the PhD. After the interview, it was financial aid presentation for me...it was kinda rushed through, and hard to understand the lady who presented. And I wasnt happy with the financial aid available. Then, we were taken on a tour of the campus by medstudents who were really enthusiastic and happy to be attending there. We got to see the cadaver lab, the dorms, the lecture halls (beautiful, btw), and library. Then, we had lunch with medstudents. The cafeteria was good...salad bar, pies, brownies, juices, coffee, hot-chocolate, cappucinos, lasagna, fries, and some meat stuff (im vegetarian). Then, we were free to go.
