How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN. Know types of behavioral based questions.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty are A+, much more friendlier than any of the other schools I've been to. They really want you to come here and seem to genuinely care about students. The curriculum looks tough, but that is a good thing. Podiatry is changing and I welt that Western might actually be leading that change.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really comes to mind, I was really impressed. Especially in comparison to the other schools I interviewed at.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To not listen to all the other schools that bash on Western -just because they are new. Western is challenging the old school mentality of podiatry and might actually become the standard for all other pod schools -who knows?

What are your general comments?

Apparently Western's DO school is ranked #1 in the country. The DPM students are integrated with the DO, so they will also receive a stellar education.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
