What impressed you positively?

New facilities! Their new auditorium looks more like a performance hall. They are the only MD school built after the internet came into use so the school is structured around wireless and paperless learning.

What impressed you negatively?

Wish I could have talked to some third or fourth year students...They do their third and fourth years at one of 4 campuses in Florida.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. I was pretty well informed about the school going in. There was little signage on the way in so just look for the big, new building

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was very happy with this interview and the school. It is great to know that they will give you a response in about 2 weeks (even if it is waitlisting). Despite the fact that its a relatively new school, the faculty all have extensive history at other schools and in the medical field. It was very relaxed and conversational. Just be yourself.
