What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Some of the applicants I interviewed with were (in my opinion) fake. They seemed nice and caring during the interview, but outside they were conceited and tried to intimidate others. Maybe this is how some people deal with stress, but I don't think I'd like them as a doctor for myself or my family and friends. I hope the interviewers saw through their act. There were some really nice people though. I enjoyed learning about others' stories. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"For the Las Vegas site, it was pointless to go to the Mare Island site and sit in a room all day before the interview. All of this could have been accomplished easily by a telephone interview and thus saving students money on transportation and hotel to go to a medical school site that they're not even going to be setting foot in. I do agree with a previous response on sdn that said that the experience was based mostly on statistics of getting in and admissions/interview advice which is great, but I would have liked to know more about the school, what makes it stand out, the curriculum, how they plan on making it great, etc. etc. If I get in, I will be happy that they considered me, but I have to seriously think hard about going there as opposed to other DO schools."
