What impressed you positively?

The campus is gorgeous! It is on a hill so when you look out you see beautiful trees and an elegant community. The administrators are friendly and very available. They make you feel comfortable. There is also a true P/F system and the curriculum is awesome. If you are truly interested in community service and receiving clinical exposure, this is the place to be!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew this ahead of time, but lunch isn't until 1p and the day starts at 9:30a, so bring a light snack and drink if you tend to get hungry.

What are your general comments?

The students have a lot of school spirit in addition to the faculty. It was a long day, but well worth it because meeting everyone was a pleasure.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing. The admissions office is very friendly and responds quickly. Keep doing what you are doing!
