What impressed you negatively?

"1. interviewer-a D.O. , didn't introduce himself as anything, wore sneakers,used the word "like", and made little to no eye contact. 2. a curriculum that is constantly revised from one year to the next- indication that it is probably getting better, but is not that well established. " Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"during the tour you go to the presidents office and see where the board of trustees meet (why I don't know, classic board room from a decade ago). Althought the pres was not there we were given a pamphlet "the physician humanist." THE SCHOOL NEEDS TO FIND CLINICIANS TO INTERVIEW THAT UPHOLD THIS IDEAL OF A HUMANIST. I GOT THE ANTITHESIS OF A HUMANIST." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I had read negative feedback about the school from sdn logs, but kept an open mind. The facilities are not top notch (no wireless, not best system for downloading lectures) but still adequate. Students I talked to were friendly and seemed satifisied with the opportunities presented to them to become a doctor. However the my sneaker-clad, introverted interviewer, (I found out his name and that he was a D.O. after my interview by asking admissions staff) only made eye contact with me at the end of the interview when I asked him questions, which were partially answered. During the interview he made no eye contact, gave me no indication of whether or not he was listening to my answers and seemed to rush my answer to the next question while constantly flipping through my file which he HAD NOT SPENT MORE THAN TWO MINUTES READING. eg. Did you do any research? Oh, you didn't catch my year-long thesis that has been published. Thanks for your time." Report Response
