What impressed you positively?

The Dean's Mustache!! I went not knowing what to expect and came out thoroughly impressed. I can see how some other feedback posts talked about bad-cop roles of the intervewiers but I geniunely feel they were making sure I was qualified to attend medical school. I don't think they have assigned roles. And yes some are more laid back than others. They interview in groups so you may sit before 2 or 3 interviewers. The school is modern, high-tech, and doesn't seem like the pressure cooker some other schools become. Very good clinical affiliations and opportunities. Oh yeah those who interviewed with me were cool, so thanks for making the day easier.

There are alot of programs in the school. You will see Optometry, Physician assistants, dental students, nursing students, and a dozen other healthcare profession you never knew existed being churned out in this factory.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I will never be able to grow a mustache like the dean's.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, a long taxing day. Stressful at times and laid back during others. The students we met were MSII's and happy. This school's facilities are light years ahead of some of the M.D. schools I have visited. Go check it out and decide for yourself
