What impressed you positively?
Everyone was very enthusiastic about the school and they are putting a genuine effort into making the school the best it can be. I think LMU-DCOM will easily become one of the top DO schools in a couple of years.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing! Some people were complaining about the area, but I grew up in a small, southern city, so it wasn't that shocking to me. Everything you could possibly need is 1 hour away in Knoxville with regards to shopping, entertainment, etc.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing.
What are your general comments?
Overall, it was very laid back and welcoming. My interviewers were very nice and I could tell that they just wanted to get to know me, not grill me about my GPA, MCAT or EC's. The school is amazing . . . everything is brand new and state of the art.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
None.
