What impressed you positively?

"The location. I've been to Philadelphia a few times before but I never realized how much I loved it. The school is on the outskirts of Philly but not too far. The students were really nice too - they dropped by to answer our questions and the interviewers themselves were very friendly. The interview seemed like a conversation than a grilling session. The school also has great rotations, a fantastic match list, and great osteopathic residency opportunities" Report Response
