How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read SDN but a majority of what is posted in the DCOM discussion/hype thread is unsubstantiated. There's a lot of exaggeration, which is fine and of course excitement is contagious. However, based on what I was told and documentation sent directly to me from the DCOM Director of Admissions, a majority of what the current students are posting, such as number of apps received and average GPA/MCATs of those invited, is inconsistent at best and is grossly inaccurate.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The location was nice (rural) as was the faculty. The students who were designated to recruit seemed pleasant, too.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Anatomy lab was VERY small (eight tanks for the entire class). Plastic models were utilized for study and students mentioned that it was advantageous to have fewer cadavers for testing. The students would rotate through the 8 or so tanks somehow.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

- Inconsistent information seen on SDN DCOM threads provided by some students. - Dispersed and very distant rotation sites.
