What impressed you positively?

flipped classroom 3 days of class - tues-thursday; mon and fri testing days

What impressed you negatively?

No clinical research affiliated with the school. nontransparency with COMLEX2 scores - and when I asked about it, they got very defensive. rotations were not near harlem so you have to move in the 3rd and 4th year free clinic run by students isn't even ready yet. they have it in place, but apparently they need to go through some legal documents with lawyers before it could be used. graffiti on the walls outside of the school! how?!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you interview on a monday, you do not have the opportunity to talk to many students because they are all taking exams

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was unimpressed by this school and very disappointed when they were not transparent with their comlex scores and what they were trying to do to address it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
