What impressed you positively?

"1) Friendliness of admissions staff; there was a real down-home feel to the school and the town. 2)The students seem happy. Everyone has their own little space in lecture hall that they've personalized. The anatomy lab was nice but very crowded when I was in there. It was interesting that they showed the prospective students cadavers on interview day, but I appreciated seeing what anatomy lab really looks like. 3) Plenty of parking. 4) The area. The mountains of West Virginia are beautiful and there are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"1)Like most DO schools, there is no affiliated hospital, so you have to move third year to another site in WV. 2)The whole place seemed a bit generic. There was nothing particularly special or interesting about the campus. For example, there hardly any pictures on the walls. Something about it just struck me as odd. It feels like they just moved in yesterday. Very strange. 3)Staff referring to female applicants/students as "girls." This might be picky of me, but they are women seeking/getting a professional education, not high school students." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That even though the school touts its commitment to rural primary care, many of the students are not interested in this at all. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Overall, a positive experience. The interview panel was polite and friendly. One of the interviewers turned the heat up a little bit.

I also learned quite a bit more about OMT from being here and am more interested in it than before I interviewed." Report Response
