10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

This website, school statistics and accomplishments, became familiar with Lewisburg, reviewed all application materials.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone is kind and I mean everyone. School is an actual campus and not just one building. Anatomy lab and OMT facilities are amazing. On-campus clinic. ALCS certified in second year, begin clinical exposure in first year. Soon to be 10 robotic simulators (currently 4). Beautiful campus, town and state.

What impressed you negatively?

Out-of-state tuition however, they are constantly building and updating their program. Bringing in 6 more robotic simulators and adding onto the recreational center. I'm not going to try and convince you it's worth it but, your tuition is not being wasted.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I took a quick peak at the school and town when I visited in Sep. for a rafting trip on the N. Gauley. Size of Lewisburg will surprise you if you are unfamiliar with WV.

What are your general comments?

Relax, this school doesn't play around with you. They don't interview for laughs, they really truly want to get to know you. Smile, be polite and yourself, and I'm certain you will do just fine. Good luck!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing, admissions staff is ridiculously friendly, you will understand when you get there.
