What are your general comments?
Overall the experience was good. This was the first osteopathic school I interviewed at so I was anxious about the difficult question I listed above. But it was a relaxed environment. I interviewed with the director of admissions (elevated stress levels) but the interview itself was extremely conversational. Good Luck!
