What are your general comments?

"The whole thing was very relaxed. I was asked what I knew about osteopathic medicine. The students took us to a restaurant for lunch. The students who hosted us seemed very mature and professional. The interviews are broken up, with each student interviewing at different times, so you could get both your interviews in the morning, or one in the morning and one in the afternoon, or (I guess) both in the afternoon. Then you return to the "home base" and hang out, have your file reviewed for errors, or sit in on a class, until it is time for your next interview. In the middle of the day, they have a presentation about being a D.O., and then the seminar on financial aid." Report Response
