How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN for sure! read over my app, printed off a whole bunch of possible questions that I found on the internet and thought about each for a few minutes just in case I'd get asked the question, at least I'd thought about it once! Look over hc and medicine related news in the last couple of days
What impressed you positively?
The students we met were really happy/excited to be there, the staff were great and the professors amazing! The OMM presentation was top notch, I'm really excited to learn OMM! Nice lunch room, plenty of fridge space, pool table, foose ball table. Everything is super new!
What impressed you negatively?
No prep for the COMLEX, study on your own..there are still some kinks to be worked out as it is a new campus. Might be a little tight when the second class joins since its just one building..no changing rooms (everyone changes in the bathroom all at once)
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Lunch isn't super exciting since there is no cafeteria, sandwiches/chips/fruits. You'll have a bit of down time to just chat with fellow applicants.
What are your general comments?
Relax! It really is a great interviewing experience, no weird/extremely difficult questions.. the interviewers were great! The school is good, I really liked the area and the school. yes it is small but if that's what you like, you'll love it here. You will def get a lot of personal attention and rest assured everyone is here because they really want to be and they really want to help you/see you succeed! I felt reaallly welcome, from the staff and the people of Lebanon. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions I can try and answer :) (I have been accepted)
