What impressed you positively?

The admissions personnel

What impressed you negatively?

The provost, This guy was a nut. He made fun of the mayo clinic. Saying some doctors sit behind their desks waiting for patients and others actually get out and help people. When asked about research, he said we emphasize actually helping patients over research.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school, reminded me of ITT Tech. It just seemed that these guys were trying to cut corners wherever they could. there was a great amount of technology, like flat screens and stuff like that. But there is no dissection. The Dean said that dissection is a waste of time..... the library is non existent, why have books when you can read them online. you are only at the school for a year and do your second year of didactic online. with a faculty adviser on site.

What are your general comments?

The facilities are sub-par. simulation dummy you use are not very nice, nor up to date. There is only one and the simulations room is just a side room that does not give the feeling of an actual hospital, nor clinic. It just is a small office.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The admissions personnel were great. All the interviewers were very personable and kind. I really en
