What impressed you positively?
Everyone at this school is so nice! Students were very chill and easygoing, and the admissions director and team really emphasized that interview day was supposed to be relaxed and laid-back. They did a great job of reducing stress and making it an all-around positive experience. Interview day and the overall attitudes of the students and admissions teams made me want to attend this school. Administration seems like they are super receptive to student feedback and fostering a positive environment for their students' wellbeing. Also, great match rates and match list!
What impressed you negatively?
Preclinical grades aren't purely pass/fail; they have honors, high pass, pass, fail. Kind of a drawback since a lot of other schools are completely pass/fail for preclinical grades.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing. Super transparent process, no surprises
