What impressed you positively?

"The DO students and the PA students really support and help eachother like a close team, which I feel is really important. The faculty are all personable,extremely intelligent, and show sincere concern for all of the student body. Also, part of my family is Jewish so I felt familiar and comfortable around everything, and everyone has major respect for aspects of Jewish culture. The diversity of the student body is great. There is a definite social life outside of the school, which is always a good thing because every med student needs to occasionally unwind and have a beer(or 10) :)The new ortho surgery center is going to be FANTASTIC.

What are your general comments?

"Overall, a great experience. As mentioned many times on this site, the students are super enthusiastic and very passionate about the school and osteopathic medicine. The interview was very laid-back and relaxed, more like a conversation than an interrogation. I felt that they wanted to get to know me during the interview instead of rallying off a checklist of questions from paper. The curriculum and potential of the school is outstanding. It being their first year in operation, I was very impressed." Report Response
