What are your general comments?

"Many of the other reviews give good info about the conversational nature of the interview process. There is a good reason for this - they read your application in advance, allowing for a real conversation (unlike other schools which read it for the first time in front of you). Make sure you bring up the points you wish to hit on if it's just a loose conversation. When I was with the D.O. (you have 3 interviews 1 faculty, 1 clinician, and admissions representative) he read questions from a list for standardization purposes. Mine seemed a little rushed for time but he made sure to answer all of my questions completely." Report Response
