What impressed you positively?

the anatomy lab is fantastic!! it's so well ventilated that you can't hardly smell the bodies. it is also on the top of the MEC building unlike te basement at most schools. the students seemed very happy. the school is also very diversed. the USMLE pass rate in recent years have been 100%. student housing is almost guaranteed and comes furnished. parking permit (for student housing area) is only $30 for the year. school also has a housing facility in manhattan for 3rd and 4th years who do rotations in the city.

What impressed you negatively?

there's nothing within walking distance of the school. no elevators in student housing which can be a pain to do laundry if you're on the top floor. roommates for student housing are chosen randomly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

i knew that the school was catholic affiliated but never knew that the school took out subjects of abortion, birth control, etc out of the curriculum.

What are your general comments?

i thought the interview was very relaxed. My interviewer was really nice and we ended up having a conversation with me asking her a lot of questions. The day was planned well for the most part. There was, however, a lot of time spent waiting between interview and tour but luckily the interviewees were friendly and we all ended up talking for about an hour.
