the wellcomming spirit of everyone I have talked to
What impressed you negatively?

The area seems very dead and boring. The townies seemed unhelpful and a little weird. The school did not really interest me and didn't get me very excited about anything, so I didn't feel so bad when I didn't do very well on the interview.
-
nothing
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I could've done a phone interview instead! Also, I wish I scheduled more time in between my flights so that I could have taken a tour of the school.

That their entering class size is around 120, but they reserve 100 spots for their pre-pharmacy students, and only 20 spots for outside students.
