International clinical Rotations as well as out of state rotations during 3rd and 4th year. Mock Patient interviews with actors and actresses.

What impressed you negatively?

The appearance of the school. A lot of construction going on. Neighborhood was kind of secluded and quiet.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The new Dean has only been around for a short time.

What are your general comments?

The interview was pretty lay back. I felt that the interviewer just wanted to get to know me as oppose to trying to stump with with difficult questions. The campus itself, looks ugly from the outside, but inside looks nice. The Pomona area is kind of ghetto, but most students live outside of the area and commute in.
