✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reaffirmed my reasons for DO, prepared for ethical questions (none were asked), review the school's mission, relax and breath.

What impressed you positively?

Beautiful campus, undergrad life, academic and athletic facilities. Big anatomy and OMM lab. Cool robots to practice on. They have an alternate learning track called the Doctor Patient Continuum, where students work together in groups of 10 and are required to teach themselves and each other instead of learning in lecture halls.

What impressed you negatively?

Tuition. Small Osteopathic library, but main library is fine. Lunch consisted of yogurt, granola bars, and weird muffins. Osteopathic cafeteria is small. No on-campus hospital, but there are plenty of hospitals in the area. Outdoor track is simply an asphalt surface around a lacrosse field.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Interview was super-relaxed. Eat something before you come because they only provide you with granola bars, muffins, and yogurt. There were a lot of applicants on my day, maybe 15.

What are your general comments?

Beautiful campus, decent facilities, friendly faculty. Has the feel of an undergrad campus but also has its own unique DO quad. Huge class size ~300. Very high tuition. Big emphasis on primary care.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Many people spent over an hour just waiting for a free interviewer. Either have more interviewers per day, fewer interviewees per day, or stagger the events so we don't have to wait hours before the interview.
