Small class size and sense of community, students happy and down-to-earth, friendly people especially for NJ, 4 people to a cadaver, lots of professor/student interaction and cooperation, student involvement in administration and policy, low tuition and costs, an air of confidence throughout the school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Foul smell in histology lab, anatomy lab looked, smelled, and felt like a dungeon (on the other hand, anatomy is taken during the second half of the first year so the room wasn't really being used yet)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They are revamping the curriculum to incorporate the PBL and small group learning into the traditional curriculum and bring together the best of both systems. The students all mentioned how they wished it were that way now and that it would be a very positive change.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I arrived early and well rested, their hotel arrangement and recommendation, Hampton Inn, was excellent. There were only 4 interviewees that day and we arrived at scattered times throughout the morning giving the small class individualized attention feeling right from the start. The tour was great and the students seemed happy and had nothing but praise to sing about their school and classmates. The interviewers were one physician and one MS3, they were both extremely nice and explained how they wanted to portray me to the committee in the best light possible and that they were my advocates.
