How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Honestly, I did nothing. I didn't want to stress myself out with reviewing material about the history of osteopathic medicine and thinking of possible questions they would ask me. I just relied on my gut instincts and answered the questions truthfully.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities. And, you know, Iverson's Bentley parked out front.

What impressed you negatively?

The finiancial aid officer. She buzzed right in, gave us the spiel about cash, and left. She didn't even take her coat off! The nerve.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I was a little stressed during the interview because I felt like I was on trial; three interviewers sat at one end of this long table, while I sat at the other. They kind of grilled me about my grades...things got better though after I confessed that I loved watching Joe Millionaire. I left feeling like a tool, but I was accepted, so I guess you never know.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
