How did you prepare for the interview?

School's website, SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The environment the school is located in is absolutely beautiful. Even if I don't go here, I will someday want to live in VA.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing negatively impressed me except that my last interviewer seemed a bit uneasy. However, that could be because I was her last interviewee.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the school still wasn't built--even in May. I wish I could've walked in and around the building.

What are your general comments?

The overall interviews went well. They try to get an idea as to who you are, whether you can communicate effectively, and whether you truly want to become a DO. Remember, there are three separate interviews at this school, which is different from most other schools, and so your endurance will be tested.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
