Looked over my application materials, researched their website, read interview feedback on SDN and interviewed myself on my 11 hour drive there, talked to current students on SDN.

What impressed you positively?

Oh man.......everything. The school has done so much to assist their students in succeeding in school. They are incorporating innovative learning modalities, awesome opportunities for rotations in several states, Still Well Program, opportunities for early clinical experiences, extremely friendly and enthusastic admissions staff, faculty, students, etc. Good facilities and excellent computer connections. High pass rates, highly recognized. They also set you up with students to stay with if you want. Everything!!

What impressed you negatively?

Maybe the small town, but hey, that is where we are all planning on practicing anyway right?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Anatomy program is like in the top 1% of all medical schools in the nation....it is gonna be tough, and I haven't taken anatomy yet, so I will be soon!!
