What impressed you positively?

Excellent facilities Tons of successful alumni

What impressed you negatively?

All they talked about was money. If you can't get a residency we've got money for a "residency genesis" program. This does not speak well for your curriculum. One the tour they had grades posted on a board and the a majority of the class had failed the last three tests. The accept you on the spot. They don't even wait to see if more qualified applicants exist. The gave scholarships to everyone. One of the other interviewers with a low GPA and MCAT score (he admitted his stats to me) not only was accepted he got a scholarship. Do they have no standards? Cost of living is high. Great new facilities but they left the amazing clinic in downtown Chicago for the suburbs. Big mistake! Average boards scores.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have know that they have low standards.

What are your general comments?

I didn't like the school. The student tour guide was talking smach about fellow students and faculty. The interview was nothing of the sort. The bragged about how great they are in my opinion podiatric medicine was left them behind. The school was great. The key word is was.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
