✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, other interviews, study the school website/catalog, review my application materials.

What impressed you positively?

The school founder's vision and implementation of that vision. DCOM pursues excellence in every staff and equipment decision made. Definitely the most technologically advanced school I've seen or heard of yet.

What impressed you negatively?

The remoteness of the location is advantageous for a busy student without much tolerance for distraction. When the time comes around to take a break, unless you like the outdoors a lot, there is just not much to do. At the same time, this remoteness does promote a very tight (close) student body.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I did not know that anatomy was taught via prosection / dissection combination and not just dissection. I don't know the impact of this method, but I wasn't prepared to ask better questions about it.

What are your general comments?

A great school, but the location is not for everybody. The curriculum is a great balance of integrated and subject-based. The facilities are the best I could imagine for a clinically-focused school. Everybody I met was very excited to be there and very happy with their choice of schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

There are more positive aspects of the school which I have learned about, but were not addressed in
