Reviewed AMCAS, read interview feedback
What impressed you positively?
USACOM's focus on teaching; the campus and facilities were nice too; the admissions guy was entertaining which helped us be pretty calm; small class size is a plus
What impressed you negatively?
The interviewers didn't really ask me alot of questions, so I am not sure how well I did.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I knew about the off campus interviews ahead of time from reading SDN; what I didn't know was that the map they provide you with is pretty much useless.
What are your general comments?
The experience was pretty good. The interviewers told me all about USACOM and answered all of my questions before I even asked them. Everyone did a really good job of explaining what sets this school apart from the others. I left feeling like I would really enjoy going to school here but a little uneasy not really knowing how well the interviews went.
