How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, asked students about the interview process, brushed up on facts about Osteopathic Medicine.

What impressed you positively?

OMT lab, the new building

What impressed you negatively?

The interview and the interviewers, the campus

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I should have read the blurbs they have on the wall in the room you wait in before the interview. They ask you about them (with some subtlety).

What are your general comments?

Be prepared to defend everything in your application. They asked me about everything (grades and MCAT). This increased the stress level and left me feeling like total CRAP. They were cold and antagonistic.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
