How did you prepare for the interview?

Read "The DO's," this site, friends at the school.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very nice and the small campus was very impressive.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I really didn't have to do all the research about osteopathic medicine and OMM and the school, because they really didn't ask me about any of that.

What are your general comments?

The day was pretty good... I was extremely nervous and stressed out, probably because it was my first interview and I was in the middle of midterms, but the people made me feel a little more relaxed. The interview process seemed to take forever.... I was the last one to go, which meant that I sat in the "fishbowl" from 9:30 until I interviewed at 11:30. Waiting for that long made me kind of antsy and even more nervous. Students came by to talk to us about the school and everyone was very friendly. I guess my nervousness didn't really matter because I got accepted.
