How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Opportunities in Osteopathic Medicine Careers (Paperback) by Terence J. Sacks which was great and got me really excited about Osteopathy/gave me some good stuff to think about. Read through all of my essays and answered the questions from the interview advice given on here.

What impressed you positively?

All of the people I met with were great. The students seem really happy and supportive of each other.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities weren't the best but they were good enough and the university has a lot of room to grow.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The campus isn't as hard to find as they make it out to be. I stayed in the hotel near the school rather than with my friend for free in Palo Alto becuase I was worried I would never find it.

What are your general comments?

Good but fairly stressful. I wish I could have relaxed a little more. Just remember that if you are there it is becuase you are qualified so RELAX!
