What impressed you positively?
Most everything. They are a family; from the maintenance guys, the security guard, the students and faculty/admins are all on a first name basis and bend over backwards to help each other out. The school is also extremely committed to providing docs to the underserved areas and is making it a point to create quality rotation sites near or in these areas so the students can get exposure and connections.
What impressed you negatively?
The interview style this year :P. they give everyone 21 standard questions, and are not allowed to clarify them. They are also not allowed to add supplemental questions that might clarify or shed more light on the interviewee's answers. It was very impersonal, which was the complete opposite of the atmosphere at the school.

The time we were supposed to show up..I never received the packet in the mail so i showed up an hour and a half early.
