What impressed you positively?
The school was absolutely great! The anatomy lab was awesome, only 2 students to a body compared to 4 or more at most other schools. The simulators were so cool!!! I loved everything about this school, the students all seemed to love it and were all there to help each other whereas some other schools students sabotage each other to make themselves look better. Residency match is over 80% for students' first choice residency first time around, and about 60-70% for their top location choice as well. I was scared about some things I had read about residency with USUHS students that they can essentially be told which specialty to be placed in but this is not the case.
What impressed you negatively?
Honestly I don't think there was anything that impacted me negatively, it was great!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Everyone, and I mean everyone, was wearing very plain colors, white button-downs, with black or gray suits and dark ties. I wore a colored button-down under my suit and idk if this will impact me positively or negatively, but I guess I will find out!
What are your general comments?
Loved this school, definitely became one of my top choices after the school tour. The Assistant Dean of Admissions is great, such a nice and funny guy. I would want someone like him as my doctor.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Be friendly, they are mostly friendly!
