What impressed you positively?
Everyone was so amazing and warm. I really felt welcome and like I belonged. The students all seemed very happy, and we ran into a bunch of students finishing up a presentation on the rural primary care track, and they ran over to give a mini presentation on it for those of us who were interested, even though they had somewhere else to be. There is a small class size, and they are very transparent about their admissions process.
What impressed you negatively?
There is a class ranking and there are letter grades. That's it. Not a deal breaker, but it is a negative to me.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How much colder it is there than where I drove from (only about 6 hours away). We did a little walking outside, and it was freezing.
What are your general comments?
Very, very impressed. I loved this school. It's my top choice now.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Continue being awesome!
