What impressed you positively?

The facilities are pretty good and the anatomy lab is the best I've ever seen(no exaggeration).

What impressed you negatively?

The interviews were timed and when you had about five minutes left- there was a knock on the door to wrap it up.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known about the bus route before I came. I knew it was $2 but i didn't know the stops or where the bus station was- I ended up spending close to $70 going from the airport, hotel, interview and back.

What are your general comments?

There were about 6 people interviewing. First we met with financial aid, but this is unusual. Then we met with admissions. After that we had lunch with two first year students. And the group was divided in half. Half went on tour and the other half went to interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
