How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over this website.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are brand new, so they're excellent in most regards.

What impressed you negatively?

FORCED dress code and MANDATORY class attendance. You won't find a single guy without a tie!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you interview during the winter, it's going to be freezing, freezing, and freezing. I think the town would be perfect during the spring and summer, though. Also, PA requires the 1-year D.O. internship to be licensed as a D.O. You're paid somewhere in the 30-50K range, and that's basically a whole year of training you've already had. So, D.O.'s add one year to the regular M.D. residency, in essence, if they practice in Pennsylvania or Florida.

What are your general comments?

About what I expected. The article they ask you to summarize is another test, it seems like. Mine was about the value of exercise, since drugs do not lower all forms of cholesterol that cause heart risk.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
