How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up about WesternU on the school's website and SDN's interview feedback.

What impressed you positively?

The entire ambiance of the institution. I came away with the feeling that they care incredibly for their students along with the success of their students. I got a great vibe from Dean Clinton Adams as he personally spoke with our interview group and the vision he had for WesternU/COMP really rang through to me.

What impressed you negatively?

Although the new HEC building is beautiful, for the most part the rest of the school doesn't look too nice on the outside.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How stressful but incredibly interesting the experience of the MMI would be.

What are your general comments?

Overall, a great institution to learn Osteopathic Medicine. IMO I believe WesternU/COMP is one of the DO schools in the country, if not the best. Excellent clinical rotations throughout the SoCal metropolitan area.
