"Were you happy with your MCAT scores? How do you explain your grades? (I told them that there's an upward trend, to which one interviewer interjected "NO THERE'S NOT!" There actually is, but since they didn't have a class-by-class list, they couldn't see that.)" Report Response | I was asked this question too

"Great anatomy and OMT labs. Students were enthusiastic and friendly. The new curriculum seems better organize and more conducive to long-term learning." Report Response
"My interviewers were not that great. My interview started 10 minutes later than planned, which normally wouldn't be a big deal, but we had to finish by 10:30 so that I could go to the orientation. So because we started late, I basically had 10 minutes less to interview. In addition, I had 3 fairly intimidating interviewers (2 PhD, 1 DO) who did not make much eye contact during the interview. They were not very friendly or welcoming and even seemed a bit hostile at times. However, I later learned that that's just the way they are and one even had good things to say about me, so I guess it's not as bad as I thought." Report Response
