Looked at app, read SDN, school web site.

What impressed you positively?

Low cost of living in Erie. Good COMLEX pass rate. Open door policy with faculty. Three pathways to choose from.

What impressed you negatively?

A lot. They have lots of rules...dress code, take attendance at all classes, no food or drinks outside of cafeteria, and class is from 8-5 (about) everyday. The school is ONE building. It is a huge building, but it does not have a lot of windows, the "campus" does not have green spaces, the walls are white with no color. Very sterile building. Library is very small. Rotations are set up by the student and after talking to a 4th year student, she says this is very difficult and the school does not help all that much. Because they are a new school they do not have an alumni network. During the entire visit, we only met with 2 students and they talked about how much studying they did...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Arrive at 8 then tour with a 2nd year student. After the tour we sat in a conference room and learned a bit about Erie and the school. You read an article (ours was on HDL and LDL cholesterol) and are pulled out for your interview. After everyone finishes, lunch and then leave.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
