How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, looked over my application

What impressed you positively?

the energy of the students was very encouraging... i had doubts about the school being new and having a new curriculum, but the students were all very positive about it... i was totally sold on the school

What impressed you negatively?

no dissection, only prosection... they try to plug you into a CHC... seems like they want a specific type of physician and that's it.... the CHC emphasis probably won't help you if you want to specialize in something else

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing
