What impressed you positively?

The beautiful campus

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that there is no dissection (everything is already cut up for you in prosection), and the fact that a lot of the classes are shared with D.O. students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That students have to move after second year to one of 5 different locations for their rotations, depending on where they are selected to go.

What are your general comments?

I had a student interviewer, a first year that was more interested in getting to know me as a person more than anything. She asked me the three main questions already listed on this site (why medicine, why chm, why is being a physician different than other professions). My second interviewer was an extremely nice MD, Phd who asked me the same 3 questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
