How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed NOVA's mission statement as well as who founded osteopathic medicine.

What impressed you positively?

Harvey- they have a plastic doll which mimicks all of the cardiac abnormalities that exist.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewers- they were the coldest people I met the entire time there. They cut me short a few times, interrupted me and made me feel like they didn't want me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They really want people to absolutely love Florida!!

What are your general comments?

The School is beautiful and very impressive. Being part of a larger network of health professional schools was really interesting, there was a dental school, PA school etc. However, my interview was not reinforcing of everything else I saw and heard, and felt the interviewers were rather unconcerned.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
