What impressed you positively?

"All of my interviews were virtual due to COVID. Westerns virtual interview process was by far the most organized and was the only interview process I attended in which there was time given to speak directly to the dean of the school and hear from her and just ask questions." More from this Member | Report Response

"How personable and sincere my interviewer was. It hardly felt like an interview at all. Was very comfortable the whole time." More from this Member | Report Response

"Everyone at the school was very nice, and made me feel welcome, and wanted!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Professionalism and honesty of the students" More from this Member | Report Response

"The staff and students were all very friendly." More from this Member | Report Response

"Dr Harkless' passion for the field and the future of podiatry. New Anatomage 3D interactive anatomy table/system." More from this Member | Report Response

"close-knit faculty and student relationship, technology and new buildings/clinics" More from this Member | Report Response

"school, working with DO school, dorms, students" More from this Member | Report Response

"The dean is amazing and the campus is unique and has awesome student housing that is pet friendly!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Friendliness of professors, admissions, students and fellow interviewees. Prestige of faculty. Dr. Harkless is a very influential individual in the medical world." More from this Member | Report Response

"New Diabetes building" More from this Member | Report Response

"The friendliness of the faculty and students." More from this Member | Report Response

"How prepared all the presentations where and how welcoming all the professors were." More from this Member | Report Response

"Staff involvement with students and everyone's enthusiasm for the growth of the school and the profession. The cirriculum for the first two years is the same as the DO students." More from this Member | Report Response

"school's curriculum and staff" More from this Member | Report Response

"The staff and the Dean are extremely friendly. The curriculum is very much based on problem solving and the hands-on approach." More from this Member | Report Response

"EVERYONE was extremely friendly! People on here say it all the time but they really make it seem as though they want you to attend their school. Very professional atmosphere! Dr. Harkless is awesome!" More from this Member | Report Response

"The faculty are A+, much more friendlier than any of the other schools I've been to. They really want you to come here and seem to genuinely care about students. The curriculum looks tough, but that is a good thing. Podiatry is changing and I welt that Western might actually be leading that change." More from this Member | Report Response

"Finally, a school that really GETS IT! Podiatry is changing and some of the schools are still doing what they did 10 years ago." More from this Member | Report Response

"The admin/faculty is an all-star cast of podiatrists and they seem to care a lot about training future podiatrists. The new building is going to be nice, new lecture halls, lab/research space, clinics. The weather was sunny and 85 when I interviewed, just what you'd expect in November." More from this Member | Report Response

"The people. They really made a huge effort to let me know that they really wanted me to come to this school. Meet with the Dean, Dr. Harkless twice during the interview. Amazing guy and has a great thing going at Western. They really get the concept of Vision 2015. It is ingrained in everything they do, from the admissions, to the curriculum. The majority of classes are with DO students. the new building looks like it will be great for the pod students." More from this Member | Report Response

"The faculty and everyone cared a lot. They made sure that I had met everyone before I left the interview. The curriculum is new and has potential. It is based so that students can be comfortable to take the USMILE which was mentioned that they will pay for that exam. The curricum includes an inter-professional study where students are grouped with other health professionals to solve a case study. The campus only has students that want to become some kind of health professional so its a great way to become a professional that appreciates all other health specialties. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Nice campus, new buildings going up, curriculum (all classes with DO students, summers off, not going to waste your time with unneeded extras), early clinics, hospitals that you will be rotating through, Dean and faculty, and they are setting up residency affiliations with hospitals (attempt to ensure all students that graduate a residency program)." More from this Member | Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Dr. Estes aint it" More from this Member | Report Response

"The presenter for the curriculum had a very long-winded and stale presentation which made it difficult to pay attention. They kept getting side tract on some of the information which also made it difficult to follow. I also wish they'd gone more in depth on the housing because LA County is very expensive in terms of housing and COL. Additionally, they compared their program a lot to others and claimed they were the best podiatry school. Sure, a lot of schools will do that but I wish they had focused more on their strengths and why students enjoy their school rather than making comparisons to other schools." More from this Member | Report Response

"Student panel could have been a little better but not a big deal." More from this Member | Report Response

"Vague housing options during post-interview tour. Seemed limited to just recommending the Daumier as a housing option. Did not tour the library or classrooms. No meal plan available." More from this Member | Report Response

"I had a very positive experience during my interview and through out the rest of the interview process." More from this Member | Report Response

"Interview felt rushed , not enough deep and broad questions" More from this Member | Report Response

"The campus does not have a gym. But they do pay for LA fitness nearby and you would pay only 7$ a month." More from this Member | Report Response

"Weren't allowed access to the cadaver lab because an exam was being set up. This is unfortunate because one of the tour guides said it was one of the main reasons she chose Western. I feel like they should arrange for interviewees to have access to all facilities or schedule interviews on non-exam days. We also didn't get to go into the main classroom because of an exam. We also weren't allowed into the gait lab room. Lastly, when I asked the interviewer about the school's poor first time board pass rates and 66% graduation rate (34% of students fail out or transfer to other schools) he basically just shrugged it off and said that Western isn't for everyone. He showed no sympathy for those students and didn't express any concern about it on the school's part. I figured he would say something like "yes, we are aware of that problem and are looking into ways to improve those statistics" but all he said was "Western isn't for everyone."" More from this Member | Report Response

"nothing" More from this Member | Report Response

"potentially not having great externship relationship outside of Southern CA" More from this Member | Report Response

"Coursework includes only 1 course of anatomy" More from this Member | Report Response

"Small campus in a relatively impoverished area. Traffic surrounding the school is heavy, particularly in the morning and evenings. Students didn't really know how to describe the grading system, so I didn't receive a straight answer to that question." More from this Member | Report Response

"The lack of scholarships" More from this Member | Report Response

"The lack of energy of one of my student tour guides." More from this Member | Report Response

"although the campus is nice, the surrounding area is pretty rough." More from this Member | Report Response

"pomona." More from this Member | Report Response

"Pomona isn't the greatest area, but luckily there are many other cities nearby for living options, etc." More from this Member | Report Response

"The school is not located in the best neighborhood." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing really comes to mind, I was really impressed. Especially in comparison to the other schools I interviewed at." More from this Member | Report Response

"Pomona" More from this Member | Report Response

"Students have class 35-40 hours a week, Pomona isn't the nicest area, the cost of living is high, and the anatomy lab is not moving to the new building (same old lab for incoming students for awhile)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Pomona is a bit sketchy. The buildings are not that impressive from the outside, but are very nice inside." More from this Member | Report Response

"There is only one option for on-campus housing. If moving from a different state where you didn't have a car, you will need a car in California b/c living choices are limited to 15-20 mins away. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Pomona is a dump, but surrounding cities are nice. It is 45 minutes away from Los Angeles. Housing is expensive. (I am from socal so I knew this going in). New buildings are delayed until January. Cadavers are shared with 8 students!!!" More from this Member | Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The dean may not show up" More from this Member | Report Response

"Don’t be so stressed." More from this Member | Report Response

"Clearer directions on where to park and where the HEC building was." More from this Member | Report Response

"I wish someone would have tole me to relax, and not be so stressed out over it. To just be myself and have fun!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing." More from this Member | Report Response

"That the interviewer was gonna work so hard to analyze my answers to his questions and try to make more questions about my specific answers and why I answered the way I did." More from this Member | Report Response

"it is open file interview" More from this Member | Report Response

"How famous the Dean was" More from this Member | Report Response

"How famous the faculty are! After your interview, Google the DPM's you meet. For the interview: The interviewer receives a packet of 6 sheets. The first requires a listing of some general information and a response to the 'Why pod' question. The final five each contain five behavioral questions numbered 1-5. The interviewer selects one at random from each page." More from this Member | Report Response

"The whole interview day was very stress-free." More from this Member | Report Response

"There is a supplemental form to fill out. The questions asked about your research, teaching experience and volunteer work in under served communities." More from this Member | Report Response

"if you look at sdn interview feedback, nothing will surprise you" More from this Member | Report Response

"There is a secondary application they have you do during your ~6 hours there. Not a big deal, though." More from this Member | Report Response

"To not stress because the day is NOT very stressful!" More from this Member | Report Response

"To not listen to all the other schools that bash on Western -just because they are new. Western is challenging the old school mentality of podiatry and might actually become the standard for all other pod schools -who knows?" More from this Member | Report Response

"That I didn't need to waste money interviewing at the sub-par schools. " More from this Member | Report Response

"That they had no Northwest rotations set up. The DO program has a northwest track so I thought that maybe the pod program could easily jump into some of those place for rotations, not the case yet." More from this Member | Report Response

"That I was the only person interviewing on that day!" More from this Member | Report Response

"More time to study for the interview, especially the behavioral based question. " More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Unprepared efforts by westernU" More from this Member | Report Response

"I didn't quite enjoy my interview at Western. My interviewer tried to tell me that a high CARS score on the MCAT correlates to better success in medical school. I've tried to look this up and can't find any valid studies that support their claims. I know they were just trying to look out for me but it gave me the ick. I also wish they'd put more out-of-state student ambassadors on the panel. California in general is an expensive state to live in and it's important to me to understand why an out-of-state student would chose Western over other options, especially if those options are comparable/better than Western in terms of board passing rates, technological advancements, and curriculum." More from this Member | Report Response

"The interview process was great. I felt like they wanted me there. Everything was planned and scheduled out well. Wish we were able to tour the library & classrooms but other than that, I had a great time." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was very well impressed with the interview process, the day was very well organized and I had plenty of time to ask questions and meet faculty and students." More from this Member | Report Response

"I really liked the school. Pomona has a lot of culture and cool shops. The program is getting stronger." More from this Member | Report Response

"It seems like IF you can make it through the curriculum you'll be a great physician, but not necessarily a great podiatrist since the whole premise of the school is equality with MDs and DOs and training as a physician first and podiatrist second. They're definitely paving the way for us all and I'm glad someone's doing it, but at the end of the day they're focusing too much on the future and not enough on the current state of podiatry. It seems like they're training you for the COMLEX or USMLE and not the APMLE, which is probably why their board pass rates are so low." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great interview day. The staff/faculty/students were incredibly helpful and really made me want to go here." More from this Member | Report Response

"overall easy interview. staff and students are super nice" More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a great interview experience. Everyone is tremendously friendly and helpful." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great school on the up and up!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Great school. Dean can talk forever about podiatry and the where the field is going. Will be the Harvard of podiatry one day." More from this Member | Report Response

"great school" More from this Member | Report Response

"This school is well on its way to becoming one of the top pod schools. Their interdisciplinary exposure, new facilities and dedicated staff make Western a refreshing surprise. They train you as a physician first, then expose you to the specialty that is podiatry. SIDE NOTE: Contrary to popular belief about pod schools, WesternU actually has a GYN and PSYCH rotations that mimics an allopathic curriculum." More from this Member | Report Response

"Apparently Western's DO school is ranked #1 in the country. The DPM students are integrated with the DO, so they will also receive a stellar education." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall it's going to be a great program. If you are from California and want to stay there for residency and to practice (at least So Cal) then GO to Western. They've already set up some great programs at top notch medical facilities. Everywhere is is somewhat of an unknown at the moment and will be until they can provide a list of residencies and directors they have sent students to or have some sort of relationship with." More from this Member | Report Response

"Western was not my #1 choice at all (or #2, #3) before the interview -but that all changed at the end of the day. I was very impressed with the school. They have their s**t together. No worries about the accreditation, they are well on their way and are very on top of it. They are opening Dental and optometry at the same time." More from this Member | Report Response

"ADVICE: Study and Answer a list of behavioral based interview questions. Also be comfortable and confident in answering those questions. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Loved the dean and faculty because they are aware of the residency shortage and actually gave me a decent answer. Talked about the 2015 vision and how their program is geared to train you as a physician first then a podiatrist. Really care about the students and have safety nets to catch troubled students before they are booted from the program." More from this Member | Report Response
