What impressed you positively?

very friendly people, seems like very supportive environment

What impressed you negatively?

OMM fellows who told us they skipped lecture to study...it just seemed like a bit much to start thinking about skipping lecture when I haven't been accepted to medical school yet.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I realized what a long day it was going to be!

What are your general comments?

It was a good experience, I especially liked the OMM demos and the harvey demo (that simulates different heart diseases). My interviewers were very friendly and fairly laid-back, the time I was in the interview went very fast.
