I had my interview with Scholl College yesterday. Overall, I was very impressed. We met Kim Young, and she took us into a waiting room area with coffee, water, magazines, etc. There were 5 interviewees total. The dean of the school came in first and we just all small talked together. He was an older gentleman, and very distinguished. We were told he was retiring before the next school year and that a new female dean was going to be coming in. After the dean left, it was then interview time. I ended up being the last one to be interviewed (I guess that's better than first LOL). It was a panel style interview. The panel was nice and it was very conversational. I have to be honest, I was more comfortable in front of the panel here as apposed to DMU. They gave me their business cards and shook my hand when the interview was finished. I felt pretty good about my interview and I'm hoping for the best! Then I went back to the waiting room where the rest of the interviewees were waiting. We then all got into a 10 passenger van and Ms. Young drove us to the clinic. It's next door to the campus, but it is a little walk and it was very cold outside.
The clinic was very nice, I was very impressed. We met up with a DPM, a couple 2nd years, and a couple 3rd years that were doing their rounds in the clinic. They were all EXTREMELY nice not only answered all of our questions, but also told us about different things about the clinic and being a 2nd/3rd year and tips they use. One of them said "I'm the one that called you the other day." And I remembered, she called me to tell me that the school is very excited to meet me and who I would be touring with as well as the names of my interviewers. Very professional. We left the clinic and drove around the housing around campus to get a better feel of it. We then met up with a couple of tour guides who showed us around the school. We ran into quite a few students onthe tour, all of which had great things to say about the school. The tour guides were very enthusiastic and I could tell that they LOVED their school. Then we had lunch in the middle of the tour, because it was going on 12:30. We had a meal ticket and could get anything we wanted in their cafeteria. They had all sorts of things, burgers, subs, home cooked food. After lunch we finished the tour and went back to the waiting room. We were then given some material on research opportunities and the day was over. I would be honored to get an acceptance to this school. Here's for hoping!
