What impressed you positively?

The school is very student-oriented. The students were very enthusiastic. It's in the heart of Philadelphia, which I love. Great clinical experience.

What impressed you negatively?

This school was my first choice before and after I visited. I will be attending in the fall, but I'm a little worried about its lack of diversity. It's not very diverse for a school in the center of Philadelphia and I wonder if they're making a true effort to change this.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

Really great. My faculty interviewer was enthusiastic and she really sold the school (eventhough i already loved it)
