What impressed you negatively?

"The whole ordeal, I even stabilized a local resident with local ambulance team, and this school did not even care. Its really hard to believe. They assured me to my face, they did not doubt my abilities and things looked well, then to receive info saying historically this and that and I need another year of school. My gpa was 3.6 with science of the same. The whole admissions team was fake. Too bad I can not attend school in my own state at this school." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That it was a popularity contest, or something. There is no way they were interested in a dedicated individual and its alright, cause four other schools have already accepted me, both allopathic and osteopathic." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Two interviews were highly positive, thought it was great I was there to interview. The other, was supposed to be the dean, but she could not even show up. Its interesting that people can see your ability and drive, but in the end they are collecting thousands in secondary application fees. Nice image for the growing osteopathic profession" Report Response
