What impressed you positively?

"This school has an excellent OMM program, facility, and faculty. Overall, they seem to care about the students. Very informative and answered all questions. **Stay with a student if you can. Aside from saving $ on a hotel room, I could ask any and all questions without any b.s. Oh, and ask your "important questions" to more than one person to get different opinions. Also, the students get a laptop & pda (however, the technology fee of $1,050 is charged for all 4 years). " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The construction (but it is for the greater good of the campus). The 1st year class is a big multi-purpose room. As for 3rd and 4th years, it seems a bit disorganized. But, I hear it's loads better than what it was a few years back. " Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The vagueness of 3rd and 4th yr." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Very good school with things to improve on. Know why you want to go to an osteopathic school (and you should want to). Although I was accepted, I didn't feel this was where I should go. I chose another DO school because I felt the "click" there. Comparing Osteopathic schools with the allopathic, the Osteopathic schools want to know about you and your motivations for going into medicine. The interview is open file, so they know your stats and know you can DO the work. It seemed sincere, not like they were trying to stump you with some b.s. ethics questions. That is not relevant now, we'll get all that stuff in school." Report Response
