✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, talked to current DCOM students at the informal pizza dinner (the night before interviews), etc. They love the school.

What impressed you positively?

Although it's a new school, the faculty and staff seem fully committed to making the curriculum, clinical rotations, and your overall experience the best it can be.

What impressed you negatively?

Harrogate, TN is in the middle of nowhere so there is nothing to do for cultural activities (except maybe hiking in the Cumberland Gap State Park).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had read this on SDN and it's true: Verizon Wireless does not work in Middlesboro, KY, where my hotel was (Holiday Inn Express). However, it does work on the TN side.

What are your general comments?

The interviewers/students kept saying how laid back the interview was and for the most part it was but I got tripped up some of the questions. I think it was mostly my nerves though. This was my first interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I like the admission staff. They are very nice.
