What impressed you positively?

What impressed you negatively?

"Nothing negative, but at another school interview, my wife was not only invited, but also participated in separate "orientation-type" events while I was in interviews. Made it seem more family-oriented. While OSUCOM also seems so, it would be a nice touch to add something like that for spouses and significant others." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Your entire file, minus GPA and MCAT scores, is open to the interviewers. (That information is privy to them after the interview).

This was not the case, and thus made for a great interview and some interesting personal questions. " Report Response
