Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students both at the school and interviewing with me: the school is really open to more alternative students (ie those who for whom med school is a second career, or have spent time doing different things before going to med school) and as a result, each class is very diverse. All the students i met were really interesting people, and all had had such different experiences. Being a state school, I just assumed it wouldnt be very diverse, but I was really positively suprised when I visited.

Report Response | I was asked this too

The facilities aren't the newest, but it doesnt seem to be a hindrence to the student's education at all.
