10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading SDN and other common interview questions/scenarios. I also reviewed the school website and re-read my secondary to ensure I know what I wrote. Went over scenarios with my family members before hand to prepare my responses, but ultimately improvised.

What impressed you positively?

The state of the art new building and its facilities. We didn't get to see the patient simulation center, but I imagine it looked just as nice as the anatomy lab and OMM lab. The faculty was very nice and open, and felt genuinely excited and invested in the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing that really made a difference. They offered prayers however I was never forced to participate and it was just them saying nice words and wishing me well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I looked more into topics such as health care legislation.

What are your general comments?

Overall great school and great experience! I would be happy going here.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None, you're amazing!
