What impressed you positively?

The school really went out of their way to make it known that they WANTED you to want to go there. The dean stopped by in the morning and greeted us all too, that was nice. That most lectures are available in their entirety online making attendance optional for certain classes. The emphasis on "interprofessional" relationships, and the standardized patients *students have something like 45 mock patient encounters in their first 2 years, really cool

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

All 200+ students take most of their classes as one large group, the long commute I would face, the fact that the student panel was not very enthusiastic when talking about their program (FYI 3 of the current student panel members had also applied MD),

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that you don't need to get there until 8:30 or so because nothing happens until 8:45 anyways

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I did like the school, but I am not 100% sold on it. Tuition alone is about $45k for the first 2 years and then increases by about 20% for your final 2 years. During the various presentations it became apparent that most DOs do not use OMM regularly. The faculty and staff were very friendly and helpful.
