What impressed you positively?

The labs are top notch and the faculty seems excellent. It sure seems like they train you to become an excellent clinician.

What impressed you negatively?

More than 50% of the school is mormon. If you're mormon, you'll love it. I'm not, so the school seemed incredibly lacking socially. The highlight of my day is not going to be playing foosball in the lounge. I'm not married, I don't have 3 kids, so I'm not going to be able to fit in with these guys. There are also nearly zero females... 15 in the last class. Again, socially the school is lacking.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The large mormon student body.

What are your general comments?

2 one hour long interviews first thing. Neither were particularly stressful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
