How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read The DOs by Gevitz, Osteopathic Med:Reformation, went to interview.com - which has been down for a long time.

What impressed you positively?

How the students and facutly seemed to genuinely like each other. Being a bit of a Trekkie, the cooperative, positive vibe I got from the school, coupled with the location - San Francisco, made me comment to an interviewer that this was what Starfleet Academy must be like - lots of people working cooperatively towards a common goal. I wasn't so much of a dork - I waited 'til after the interview.

What impressed you negatively?

The library - adequate stacks, but I'd like to see a much bigger place that allows a lot of people to hide in their nooks and be able to study away from home.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How genuinely nice the people connected to this school were. Had I known, I would have concentrated on this school earlier in the application process.

What are your general comments?

Nice people. Nice school. Nice location!
