"SDN, interview feedback, mock interviews" Report Response
"Dr. Haight is wonderful, he is very honest and upfront, he made me feel very relaxed and optimistic about the day, before we got to the school. Plus, the anatomy lab is great, the students generally seemed happy, one of my interviewers was very friendly and enthusiastic about the interview." Report Response
"Jeeze, where to begin. Poor location, unsafe neighborhood, uncomfortable interview, poor rotation sites, no program to assist students preparing for COMLEX step I, interviewer asked me a question in a very condescending manner, 2 WEEKS TO PUT DOWN A $2,000 DEPOSIT! Ridiculous... " Report Response
"2 weeks to decide! And why is TUCOM building a branch campus in Las Vegas when their Vallejo campus needs some attention?" Report Response
"Panel interview was very uncomfortable, it was like we were being lined up for a firing squad..."OK, Dr. X, why don't you take the next shots at interviewees #2 and 3, and I'll take #4". It was just weird, and my interviewers weren't enthusiastic (except one of them). Again, as everyone comments on, the campus is pretty nasty, the military base feel makes it seem like a boarding school. And seriously, the $2,000 deposit in 2 weeks thing just completely disregards the best interests of the student. If TUCOM wanted the welfare of the osteopathic community to be maximized, they would have a later deadline (like December, which all other DO schools do) which enables students to go to their preferred school; when someone attends their preferred school, both the student AND the school are best off. By trying to force students into TUCOM with their high deposit and short time to accept, they are effectively reducing the overall happiness of the DO student community. This is, in my view, a very selfish practice on the part of TUCOM." Report Response
