What impressed you negatively?

"You walk into the meeting hall and you are greeted by students in the lobby. And you end up sitting in the lobby, full of people walking in and out for most of the day. You are supposed to talk with current students, but half the time you can't even hear them because it's so loud. Do they really not have a quiet room for us to go to before the interviews? You are given access to this tiny cafeteria (anything you want), but every salad and or sandwich has meat in it. Come on, some of us are vegetarian. All other schools I interviewed at provided some non-meat options, but not UNECOM. I ended up getting potato chips and coffee and was really hungry after such "lunch." Perhaps UNECOM isn't vegetarian friendly." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That I should buy or bring my own lunch instead of relying on the full access to a cafeteria with embarrassingly limited options." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The school must be doing something really wrong in how it teaches Biochemistry because 5 randomly selected individual students (asked separately) told me that Biochemistry is the worst part of UNECOM. A former UNECOM student said that Immunology is also awful (current students I spoke with wouldn't yet know this). Compared to other DO schools, UNECOM board scores are not impressive. I wasn't impressed with the OMM lab, though it seemed OK (very cold). UNECOM is part of the undergraduate campus and I didn't like that. You get the feeling that the medical school is not that important. Crowds of undergraduates everywhere. UNECOM felt like my absolute first choice before my interview. Not anymore." Report Response
