What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

"My only complaint was the lack of time allotted for the interview. 30 minutes is not enough time to adequately be questioned by the interviewer AND have time to ask questions and get a feel for the interviewer/s.

0 = Terrible, 10 = World Class

What do you like most?

"Nothing." | Report Response

"Their rotations and Primary Clinical Skills is top notch and tough to beat for other DO schools" | Report Response

"How noncompetitive the learning environment is. We often share personally created study guides or resources. Willing to meet up before practicals to study together. I wasn’t expecting to see how helpful and willing people are to help their fellow classmates." | Report Response

What do you like least?

"I am a current student at ACOM and the school is horrible. Resources are limited. There are not even enough study spaces for the students. The professors contradict each other in lectures. Their grading policies change every year and they are changing to cumulative finals. It is located in the middle of nowhere. The faculty and staff do not have the student's best interest in mind. Would not come here... I have been warning everyone on both here and Reddit about this school. 10% of the class fails the first semester. It is overall horrible. If you want to be over-stressed, more in debt, and not taken care of, then come here." | Report Response

"Mandatory attendance for 60% of classes, but I hear they are changing this soon (hopefully!)" | Report Response

"Currently very few physician practicing OMT in AL and only a select few of the clinical sites have residency programs you can rotate at." | Report Response
