reviewed amcas app, secondary, school website, sdn

how well the school has rebounded after the storm. the effusiveness of the students, faculty, staff. the emphasis of the school on WELL-ROUNDED individuals.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the school is looking for people who are capable of coping with adversity and who foster diversity. one of my interviewers was specifically looking for students who will help rebuild new orleans.

What are your general comments?

it was terrific! i decided to add my interview experience after viewing all of the negative ratings on this site. i can't be sure, but i'm going to hazard a guess that those who are complaining wouldn't make it or have much of an impact in medicine. life isn't perfect; there will be adversity, and those who will succeed and survive are those who face the adversity with grace and tenacity. you might expect me to say that i hope the complainers won't be in my class, but i hope they are because maybe those of us who look at life as ''half full'' can help those who dwell on the ''half empty.''

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
