No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my secondary, SDN, and CCOM website info. They don't have access to your COMAS app.

What impressed you positively?

Very well maintained facilities and they are expanding. High COMLEX pass rate (about 91%), family atmosphere, safe campus.

What impressed you negatively?

They spent 10 minutes on the financial talk. The interviews were WAY too short and never led to a discussion. It became strictly a question and answer session.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

Overall, it's a very nice school. Good support among the students...towards the school as well as toward each other. It has a rigorous program and students are placed all over for residency, both for MD and DO.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
