💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
There weren't any overly surprising questions. Everything was pretty much standard.
How did you prepare for the interview?
looked at UMDNJ website, SDN, spoke with students from the school
What was the most difficult question?
I was asked about a few withdrawals that I had early on in my college career.
What impressed you positively?
I was impressed that the school had a hospital on campus. Also, the students were super friendly and willing to answer any questions. The admissions staff that we met were also very amiable. The facilities were nice as well. It also seems like there are ample research opportunities available. The cafeteria food was rather good, compared to other schools that I have visited. Tuition cost is low! (^__^)
What impressed you negatively?
Right now, they don't have an OMM lab and practice in some sort of multi-purpose room with an indoor track right above it. I think that they're building a new state-of-the-art OMM lab so that will probably be resolved. The histology lab has a strange smell to it that no other school that I've been to has. The gym was adequate, but it was rather small and you have to pay for it. The area seem as safe as I thought that it would be.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The area seem as safe as I thought that it would be. Also, I didn't know that they had an osteopathic hospital right on campus.
