SDN, talking to alumni

What impressed you positively?

Nice facilities, associated with an ungrad school, I actually small midwest college towns.

What impressed you negatively?

More than anywhere I interviewed they came off as jilted ex lover when it comes to allo vs. osteo. It was off putting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would get grilled about allo vs. osteo.

What are your general comments?

I actually liked the school itself more than anywhere else I've interviewed. As I said before, their paranoia about osteopathic bias left me with a sour taste in my mouth.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The van tour was surprisingly helpful.
