What impressed you positively?

New gross anatomy lab was nice. Facilities seemed pretty nice overall.

What impressed you negatively?

8 students/cadaver seemed kind of high.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To eat a bigger breakfast. I was starving by the end of the day. They also give a 10 minute essay before lunch. I didn't one of the weird questions that I had heard about on SDN about how many pizza places there are in the US or something like that.

What are your general comments?

Buffalo seems like a pretty nice school, especially for a NYS resident because the tuition is so low. The students were all very friendly and seemed to like both the school and the area.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The lunch was a little lacking...
