What are your general comments?

"Overall, i was totally impressed with PCOM. I knew it was a good school, but having gone to the school, it has reinforced my desire to attend. Great curriculum, facilities, people seemed nice and happy to be there, terrific faculty (that Dr. Nicholas guy is quite a character), good clinical rotations, etc. I would without a doubt, hands down attend PCOM if i got accepted, and even withdraw my acceptance to allopathic med school. Just relax and be yourself, the interview was really laidback, and it was actually the most relaxed out of all the 10 DO school interviews i have been to - they just want to get to know you - if you made it to the interview, then they just want to see if you can effectively convey who you are as a person to them" Report Response
