What impressed you positively?

everyone is friendly! a student walked up to me and gave pointers for the interview. tons of pictures on the wall of social events. everyone seemed happy. intermural sports, lots of clubs.

What impressed you negatively?

72,000/yr!!! currently no real technology or enough computers. buildings are old in appearance but they are building 3 new buildings with wi fi, technology, patient simulator...etc. nothing close to the area except lowes and wal mart. 3rd yr rotations are only in WV due to limited slots, did I mention 72,000

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

3rd yr rotations are only in WV, school is expanding to 200 students/yr. not enough housing. . you have to submit a letter to request to enter PBL. not everyone gets it. they didn't offer kaplan to study for boards here. have to drive 3 hrs away

What are your general comments?

great interview! startd at 8 but mine wasn't until 10 so walk around, I sat in on a pbl class. easy to talk to, laughing, gave good feedback during the interview. then a few things about pbl, finance, nice tour. got accepted a few days later!!! the students are definitely a positive driving force for the school. the lunch with students reinforce that. despite paying the hefty fee, they all say it's worth it. there are 3 clnics to practice OMT on campus.
