What impressed you positively?
It's a beautiful campus - very different from other DO schools I went to. Also, the match list is great!
What impressed you negatively?
Just the tuition is worrisome, and the faculty mentioned how there is a possibility of increasing tuition by 2-3% the following years
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The interview is fairly short because they try to stick to the allotted 30 minutes for each student, and of those 30 minutes, they give you 5 minutes at the end to ask any questions you may have
What are your general comments?
It was a good experience overall. The interviewers were kind and genuinely wanted to learn more about you as a person. The students and faculty seemed friendly too. The interviewers have your secondary essays and resume/cv that you uploaded as a part of your secondary application. They do not have your transcripts, personal statement, or anything related to your primary application. It really isn't too stressful, so just try to be calm and smile!
