What impressed you positively?

There was definately some major pros and cons with this university. I really liked my ambassadors who were really enthusisastic about the school. I really like their curriculum which is a systems based approach that emphasizes early pstient exposure, etc. They have a bunch of brand new facilities. They also have a higher-than-average pass rate on the boards.

What impressed you negatively?

Everyone says it...the area was a major turn off. I got the impression that student come to college during the day and are eager to make the communte home after class. Letter grade based grades. No wireless facilities. Clerkships aren't in one place but are spread out to locations across the country. Third and fourth years are, therefore, not around campus :(

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview and it was an overall positive experience. I am quite torn about this university because there are many positive aspects as well as negative aspects. (see above). The overall presentation was impressive, the ambassadors were enthusiastic, friendly and helpful, and I had really nice interviewers.
