Read SDN, checked out their website/CIB page, spent a lot of time reflecting.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The campus and area were nicer than I expected based on previous reviews. Not fantastic, but the location isn't enough to dissuade me from attending. The students (both the ones we passed during tours and the ones acting as ambassadors) were very friendly and very positive about their experiences there. The program sounds fantastic, especially the international rotations, the summer anatomy program, the OMM, the strong COMLEX/match results, etc.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Cost. Over $70k for year one, with costs increasing in each successive year. Ugh.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Where to park. Public lot on the opposite side of campus to where we needed to be (not a long walk, though). Make sure you bring quarters, parking pass is $1.50 for all-day.
