What impressed you positively?

The program is one of the best in country. I like the small classes and medical focus. If you want to be a leader in the field, this school is for you. They did a great job of stressing that the school is rigorous, and if you like that sort of thing than this is the school for you. Hey, you dont become number one by taking it easy.
