What are your general comments?
This school is clearly not for everyone. MAKE SURE YOU ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS. Talk to everyone.
Dr. Moore is really nice and chill. You get a great/friendly reception from everyone there. It's a good school; I'm just on the fence right now. I need to visit some other places to be sure about it.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN, reviewed my AACOMAS and secondary essays, reviewed some current medical ethics literature (which was pointless)
What was the most difficult question?
There really wasn't one. The interview was dull and predictable.
What impressed you positively?
Very clean, professional, nice building, everything is new and well kept, very secure building, everyone is SUPER nice, they gave me slippers with bears dressed as doctors on them, cost, good faculty reviews
What impressed you negatively?
Predictable interview, MD interviewer for a DO school (WTF?), decentralized campus, felt more like a business than a school, apparently hard to get to now that I have tried it, strict dress code, no food or drinks allowed ANYWHERE, mixed reviews about school/administration, farthest away, maybe winter since about a dozen people mentioned the "lake effect" and said there would be a few feet of snow from October to March
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That US Airways is a horrible airline (DO NOT USE THEM), that getting to an from Erie is ridiculous, that an MD would be interviewing me for a DO school (again, WTF?)
