What impressed you positively?

"We had lunch with the first years and they told us all about their experiences. They really loved the school and seemed very down to earth. I was also impressed that the school only interviews a very small fraction of the applicants (I interviewed with three other students and there will only be one more interview session this week). The admissions office meets once a month (September 19) to review applications, so I will be able to know my status within one week. I really enjoyed my experience and would love to attend this school next fall. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The first year students were taking their exams, so I was not able to sit in on a 1st year class. I did sit in on a second year cardiology class instead. The faculty member was extremely awesome and interesting because he talked about his personal experiences in the field instead of just lecturing the material. " Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I kept finding contradictory info about the number of out-of-state students the school accepted (ranging from 1%-15%). I found out that the school accepts closer to 15%, and that the admissions office helps those out-of-state students change their residency before school starts (hence the 1% that I found in the US News Graduate Guide). Some members of the faculty from the UMDNJ allopathic school teach courses for the osteopathic school. " Report Response

"I really enjoyed the overall experience. It was my first interview, so I was obviously nervous and a little flustered in the beginning. I loved the supportive atmosphere. Good luck everyone! " Report Response
