Beautiful campus, fantastic facilities, program seems very strong.

What are your general comments?

Very impressed with the school. The interview itself was relatively painless...all straightforward questions. I was just more nervous at this one since it was my first this year, so that set me on edge some. Students seem enthusiastic about being there, and I was very impressed with all the outreach opportunities available...both in the local community, and in south america. They said their pass rate for board scores were somewhere in the 90% range...wished it was a bit more specific, but it sounds like people are very successful. Ft Lauderdale is nice, but only if you don't mind swampy heat (it IS FL after all). Price seemed a bit on the high side, but not as bad as a couple other schools I've visited.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
