How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over my primary/secondary applications. Had a mock interview with a friend.

What impressed you positively?

Beautiful campus. Very new/modern facilities. The people I saw there seemed happy. The few D.O. students I talked to were really involved and happy to be there. The staff is really welcoming. They are thinking about adding medical mission trips to the curriculum in the next few years.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer was purposely hard on me. I realized this after several other applicants went into the same room and came out freaked out. I talked to a couple med students there, and they also said that the interviewer did that on purpose and is in actuality, a really nice guy. Also, my interview was really short. I wish it had been a longer so that I could get more of my personality across. I also found out later that we were running behind so the interviewers were told to hurry it up. I wish they had just cut the time out of lunch instead.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What weird questions they would ask me. Everything else, I was more or less ready for.

What are your general comments?

Beautiful campus, everyone seems happy here. The school really seems to look out for its students.
