What are your general comments?

It was a panel interview with 3 faculty members and one student. The questions asked to the student panel were very personal and based on the student's individual file. I was very impressed with the library, the OMM lab room, and the anatomy lab. We were informed by a student there that in Histology lab you are given your own microscope and slide box for lab and a lot of lab work is virtual on the computer. The school's faculty seemed to be their greatest asset. They seemed more focused on you as an individual then on your exam scores, past research, or MCAT marks. I think the students that performed the best during the interview were calm, talked slowly, and kept eye contact with both the interviewer, the whole interview panel, as well as the student panel. The students seemed to be very connected and relaxed. The day I interviewed was some sort of "funny hat day" and a large % participated. I also heard they get out of school early (12:00) on Fridays. After the students finished with their questions, the interview panel let us ask questions about them. My question was, "What are the best and worst features of TUCOM?" They responded that TUCOM's surrounding area was not the prettiest, but that the school was new and undergoing lots of changes, including adding new buildings, expanding, and renovating. They also mentioned that the faculty and adminstration listens to student's suggestions and makes changes highly based upon them.
