What impressed you positively?

I interviewed at SALUS a few days before and NECO blew me away. When I came to NECO and saw the other candidates..... For the first time, I said to myself, holy **** I'm interviewing to become a Doctor. The school is historically beautiful and the whole interview day is very organized. This school is the real deal. The students that you meet are confident and really look and act "like a Doctor"

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Be yourself, be ready to answer about any bad grades and be honest. You want them to accept the real you, not the one that you think is going to get you into the school because they will know you aren't being real.
