read this site, read the brochures that they gave out before interview, also went on their site

What impressed you positively?

the clinical experience, their block scheduling although most schools do it now

What impressed you negatively?

the facility is even scarier then i imagined, the labs are hurrendous, but hey what do you expect for 18,000$ , plus you are there to get experience

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that there was no parking, and even if they tell you that you can vallet, don't believe it the valet guys were not even in sight

What are your general comments?

I enjoyed it because we shared the same resource interests, but I felt like the guy was really milking me. He basically interrogated me for an hour and a half, but I think he really wanted the best for me. Something different to write for the committee
