What impressed you positively?

Almost everything. The school is amazing. It's right in the community, which is great. The facilities are very impressive, including the sim lab and the anatomy lab. Every single student was super friendly and very happy to be there.

What impressed you negatively?

The exams are professor written, not NBME. That's the only downside I saw.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was pretty well prepared. They don't provide lunch, but they do provide breakfast.

What are your general comments?

This school is amazing. I will be very fortunate to get accepted.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

They're great. No suggestions.
