the note-distribution system between students

What impressed you negatively?

UMC ain't got a football team... what's the deal?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewing rooms were pretty warm. I might should've dashed on a little more cologne if you know what I mean.

What are your general comments?

Solid experience. Dr. Case's secretaries immediately make you feel at home. Interviewers were all very personable. Any questions I had before the day were answered, and it's obvious that UMMC is underrated.
