What impressed you positively?

the faculty emphasized that despite the large class size they were there to help (open door policy). seemed pretty dedicated to helping the students succeed.

What impressed you negatively?

unfortunately, a lot. i went in with high expectations about this school and was quite disappointed. the interview day itself is unorganized and you have WAY too much downtime to just sit around and stare the other applicants in the face. For 45k a year, i expected to be wow-ed. the library is small and only open 7a-11p. to me, the school as a whole felt more like an undergrad campus than a medical school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

just how much downtime you will have during the interview day. be prepared to be bored out of your mind.

What are your general comments?

i'm sorry if it sounds like i'm bashing the school. i'm sure you get a very good education here, however, i spent a lot of time, money and energy flying from SC and i feel that AZCOM did a poor job at selling themselves to me.
