"Beautiful campus. Very new/modern facilities. The people I saw there seemed happy. The few D.O. students I talked to were really involved and happy to be there. The staff is really welcoming. They are thinking about adding medical mission trips to the curriculum in the next few years." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The interviewer was purposely hard on me. I realized this after several other applicants went into the same room and came out freaked out. I talked to a couple med students there, and they also said that the interviewer did that on purpose and is in actuality, a really nice guy. Also, my interview was really short. I wish it had been a longer so that I could get more of my personality across. I also found out later that we were running behind so the interviewers were told to hurry it up. I wish they had just cut the time out of lunch instead." Report Response
