How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the school web sites, reviewed my applications, kept up with current events, and of course used interview feedback from this site (which is a GREAT preparatory tool!).

What impressed you positively?

The osteopathic manipulation demonstration performed by two of the student ambassadors was very impressive. I wanted to be like them!! The students and faculty were all very approachable and friendly. I also enjoyed the museum.

What impressed you negatively?

The location of the school and the really COLD weather!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Even though the interviews are long, they are not stressful.

What are your general comments?

Overall I had a great experience and was impressed by the school. I was especially impressed by the academic program. The school has quite a bit to offer outside of academics as well, with the Still-Well program and intramurals etc. I was impressed by the friendliness of the admissions staff, faculty, and students. Everyone tried very hard to make you feel welcome and at home. The interview day was long, and it ended with a short tour of the museum. I enjoyed that. Interviews themselves were not too stressful. The questions posted on this site were very helpful, and I was not asked anything out of the ordinary! I was not asked any situational or ethical questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
