How did you prepare for the interview?

Wrote out answers to about 100 questions. Discussed answers with family and friends.

What impressed you positively?

The amount and quality of information they provided. They were willing to truthfully answer any questions. They know they aren't the number one osteopathic school but they are consistently in the top 5 of board scores, so they are complacent with their results.

The weather was in the negatives on my interview day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview was semi closed file. They only had access to secondary application information and not any AACOMAS materials.

I was impressed with this school.

The website could use an update.
