No change 😐

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

While the anatomy lab is fairly cramped, no adjoining medical center, and still a couple kinks in the curriculum, I thought UB was a great value school with tuition much cheaper than private.
