"The rural location of the school." More from this Member | Report Response

"They were very excited that they had simulation labs, but most of the schools I interviewed had equal, if not better, facilities" More from this Member | Report Response

"One of my interviewers tried to make me doubt everything that I was saying (which they supposedly weren't supposed to do)" More from this Member | Report Response

"One interviewer was kind of a jerk, not sure if he was just playing hardball to see how I would react to stress of if he thought I shouldn't be there...tough to tell. Thought I stayed calm though and answered appropriately." More from this Member | Report Response

"One of my interviewers didn't ask me any questions. Complaints about students by faculty and about other faculty. Professor didn't think that highly of the students that attended." More from this Member | Report Response

"Orientation presentations seemed like sales pitches." More from this Member | Report Response

"Attendance policy. Dress code." More from this Member | Report Response

"The school itself I had no problems with, but the town is fairly small." More from this Member | Report Response

"The location" More from this Member | Report Response

"The town is in the middle of nowhere! At night, it feels like you're in a ghost town. I can't imagine that there is much to do there, or that there are many resources available outside of the school. Even the hotels were all at least 20 minutes away from the campus." More from this Member | Report Response

"Dress code!" More from this Member | Report Response

"I felt I didn't get a fair chance to talk about things in my application that I find to be most interesting, but to be fair, I have felt this way after most interviews. I think admission committees are just making sure that you have the dedication to succeed, so this is to be expected. Also, in the interview holding room, we were sat with a different staff person, and this person was not engaged and was online shopping on her phone. Not a huge deal, just noticeable to me." More from this Member | Report Response

"Students that we had lunch with seemed really frazzled. More so then at other interviews." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing" More from this Member | Report Response

"The school was really in the middle of no where." More from this Member | Report Response

"One of the first years that came and talked with us was freakin out and said we should start studying for med school like right now." More from this Member | Report Response

"It is a new school, and there were no current students to interact with." More from this Member | Report Response

"The building was not finished yet..." More from this Member | Report Response

"Who interviewed me" More from this Member | Report Response

"Who my interviewers we’re going to be." More from this Member | Report Response

"What the surrounding area was truly like" More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing really." More from this Member | Report Response

"I didn't need to bring copies of my CV. They have the entire application there when they interview you." More from this Member | Report Response

"That there was really no reason to be stressed. Interviewing faculty really just wanted to talk about why I wanted to apply here and why I am going into medicine." More from this Member | Report Response

"Not to freak out so much" More from this Member | Report Response

"How chill everyone was" More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing" More from this Member | Report Response

"That they would have asked about ethical scenarios" More from this Member | Report Response

"All the interviewers want is to get to know you better, so just be yourself and above all, be honest. They can tell the difference." More from this Member | Report Response

"That it was only one building. No residency match statistics because the school is so new." More from this Member | Report Response

"To apply earlier in the cycle...one interviewer said he would have let me in had I applied earlier (I knew I was interviewing for a waitlist spot)" More from this Member | Report Response

"Bring paper and a pen to the interview waiting area to jot down notes from each interview." More from this Member | Report Response

"Not much. Had a great interview day and learned a lot. Prepare yourself for a small town with few resources. Remember that it is a short drive to metropolitan areas, the beach, and the mountains. Winters are mild, summers are beautiful (and humid). There is an attendance policy and dress code. The school is focused on community service, medically underserved areas, and primary care. Facilities are superb and technology is impressive." More from this Member | Report Response

"That there a lot of interviewers, so the questions you receive will likely be very different." More from this Member | Report Response

"N/A" More from this Member | Report Response

"HOW TO GET TO THE SCHOOL! If using a GPS, type in the address for the Levine Hall of Medical Sciences: 4350 US 421, Lillington, NC, 27546" More from this Member | Report Response

"That the building was a good .25 miles away from the main campus." More from this Member | Report Response

"That I would be grilled on OMM." More from this Member | Report Response

"How to get to the school - its not attached to the undergrad campus!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Open file" More from this Member | Report Response

"I wish I'd known about the lack of vegetarian food options in the Buies Creek area. The area and its surroundings are very rural (< 10 thousand people in each of the towns within 10 miles of Buies Creek), and while driving to the area, I realized just what it meant to have an extreme "shortage of primary-care physicians in rural communities" of the country. Indeed, the stretch between Charlotte and Buies Creek along NC Highways 27/24 and U.S. 421 had only maybe 3 PCP offices that I counted (which is about a 2 hour drive total). There were more vet offices than physicians' offices." More from this Member | Report Response

"Every minute of the day was planned." More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Overall interview day felt bland and generic since it was virtual. Feel like I didn't get a sense of what the school is like at all." More from this Member | Report Response

"Prepare questions to ask your interviewers because they left about 5-10 minutes at the end for you to ask. Know why DO and why CUSOM. Be yourself." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great school. I’m heading here next year." More from this Member | Report Response

"I thought the campus and facilities were outstanding! I definitely think this school will prepare great physicians." More from this Member | Report Response

"Extremely nice people, wonderful student atmosphere and fantastic USMLE and COMLEX scores" More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall very impressed with the school, the interview day positively impacted my conception of Campbell" More from this Member | Report Response

"Very good school in terms of scores and whatnot, but after hearing all their weird rules and seeing the area myself I decided not to go there. I'm not a huge city person, but this was rural rural." More from this Member | Report Response

"Many of the people that interviewed me said they got questions like "why DO?" "Why Campbell?" I got none of those. I felt grilled the entire time." More from this Member | Report Response

"I love this school. It is amazing and picks great students. The technology is stellar and they take care of their students. So YAYYYY!" More from this Member | Report Response

"This was my favorite school I interviewed at by far and it was the one school that I wasn't quite sure about going into the interview. Being from the West Coast, I went into the interview day thinking that moving across the country wasn't going to happen but then I fell in love with the school." More from this Member | Report Response
