What impressed you positively?
The school is truly growing, so much construction. The school really cares about educating their students and this shows by their board results, ex: test once weekly and before taking board exams you must first pass their shelf exam. Administration will act rapidly to change curriculum to make sure the school does well on board results.
What impressed you negatively?
The weather, too hot. The tour and bus ride on the tour was grueling b/c it was too hot.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
the 3 interviewees does not always have to be a student, a D.O., and a professor; they use what they have & I got 2 professors and a D.O. Very relaxed and non-confrontational atmosphere.

presentation for 1 hour then starts interview. lots of down time because my group was 17 applicants and if you happen to be at the bottom of the list then you might have to wait 2-3 hours before it is your turn.

great presentation by dean at the beginning, then starts interview process.
