What impressed you positively?

The curriculum seems like it will be very successful. I loved how the class size will be small for the next couple years, and that the students work in small groups, and do clinical research.

What are your general comments?

One of the other posters in the interview feedback said that the new building would be ready in 2012, but I think we were told that the building would be done in late spring of 2011. So if we were part of the 2014 class, we would get the building starting in the fall of our second year.
