How did you prepare for the interview?

"SDN, reviewed my applications, reviewed research I did during my undergraduate years, I had a mock interview and practised interview questions with my mom." Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"The curriculum is all Problem Based Learning which, while it is a lot of work, statistically prepares students better for the boards AND clinical rotations. The entire campus is state of the art and the only way into the building is through a security guard. The faculty and staff are very approachable and friendly. One of my interviewers was both a D.O. and a J.D. with several years experience, but was still very down to earth. They provide a realtor, free of charge, to find you an apartment or house to live in." Report Response
