Reviewed my app, Read SDN.

What impressed you positively?

There are 5 free clinics, run by the students. Students are able to partcipate as early as the first day of their first year. Tuition is extrememly cheaper than out-of-states!!!

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of diversity within 1st and 2nd year classes.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I was really impressed with the student clinics. I did not mind the 20 minute drive between the med schoool and the Medical Center in Sacramento. I can appreciate that there is not lots to do in Davis, since maintaining academic focus will be crucial, but social life is something to consider.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
