What impressed you positively?

Students felt like their opinions and feedback really made a difference in the school since it is so new.

What impressed you negatively?

Curriculum. Students described it as 100% one subject at a time. Studied everything about "chemistry" (example) 8hrs a day until completion and then took an exam. Exam schedule is very sporadic because of this due to some subjects being shorter than others. They said that sometimes you could have one exam and then another on a completely new subject 2 days later.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

3rd year is in St. Louis, 4th year is various rotations throughout Missouri.

What are your general comments?

The relocation at 3rd year was a huge factor for not attending the school. It did not seem to be the school for me even though it was closer to home.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Send emails thanking them for their time after.
