What impressed you positively?

Everything about this school is amazing. The students are awesome, we had some free time to sit in on M1 and M2 classes and everyone was talking with me asking who I was interviewing with and reassuring me not to be stressed. Gross lab was awesome haha, now I know what a cadaver is! The clinicals are really what was awesome, we walked through Leboneur, the Med, and other facilities which were all across the street from each other. Memphis is truely a medical capital, so getting a medical education here is top notch. The new cirriculum setup to cut back two months of book work and add in an extra rotation also was a bonus!! The amount of hands on work and experience the 3rd and 4th year students had was far above par from other medical schools. No one has a problem being competitive during residency applications.

What impressed you negatively?

The stress level of M1 students, but this was expected because block exams were next week.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Read up on SCC football lol. I'm from the Big10 so didn't know much about southern schools.

What are your general comments?

I loved everything, the location, the people, and the school. Definitly a down to earth and supportive school for all it's students. Competition within the classwork is non-existant, and there's a coffee kiosk next to the classes!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
