What impressed you positively?

"Dr. Haight is everything students say he is. If you go to this school based on him then I can say that is a fair judgement." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Everything that is not Dr. Haight. The group interview was crap and a waste of time. The facilities are subpar to every school I have seen. Underground OMM lab, unimpressive anatomy lab, LOCATION. I don't know why they built a school on Mare Island but it is an abandoned, desolate area with no life in the immediate area. No food or social activity you must leave the island for everything.. it is the midst of construction everywhere and the sight of an abandoned naval yard is depressing." Report Response

"I was hungry.. be prepared they feed you at the END. The interviews are in a group-format you will only speak for about 5 minutes total so be eloquent, sound well-prepared, etc." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"There were 6 students and 3 interviewers since the student interviewer was unavailable. I am not a fan of the group interview b/c I feel they didnt hear enough about me to really know me as a candidate. It was tiresome listening to everyone else stutter out some lame answer to a simple question. Learn to be direct and answer effectively.. They need to have these interviews in smaller settings. I think they want to pit you up against your peers to see how you do under pressure but since the questions are open-file and specific, this does not achieve anything except diffuse your personality into a group of six people whereby they are difficulty discerning who you are. I got in, was not surprised and am definitely not going. " Report Response
