What are your general comments?

I have interviewed at several other schools, all of which were MD programs. This was the first DO program I was interviewed and was more impressed by this program than the MD programs I interviewed at. This school is so far ahead of so many other programs, it is incredible. I look forward to begin attending in August as I was informed yesterday that I have been accepted to the c/o 2009.
