What impressed you positively?

I'll be honest, I was wary going into this interview. The stats aren't great on paper, their timeline for applications was strict and aggressive, and they were one of the only places to demand an in-person interview. I thought it was going to be a bunk experience. However, after seeing the place in person, I get why they took this approach- the place was phenomenal. It doesn't look like much from the outside, and the area of San Antonio isn't the best suburb, but the interior of the campus? Second to none. One of the most cutting-edge programs I saw, major history behind the campus location, and an incredibly impressive cirriculum that tailors itself to the success of individual students and their goals for specialization, rather than a blanketed "one-size-fits-all-primary-care-enthusiasts" plan that most DO schools I've seen employ. We had something crazy like 10 MMIs and a group interviewer, and each and every single interviewer was friendly, provided feedback, was enthusiastic, and down-to-Earth. Every student I interacted with - even outside of the student leaders - absolutely loved the school and the administration. I was pleasantly surprised and moved this campus from a "safety school application" to a serious consideration after touring and interviewing.
