What impressed you positively?

This school is very friendly to non-traditional applicants. The San Antonio area is really nice, warm weather, adequate study space. The anatomy lab and OMM lab are also great facilities too. The teaching faculty are diverse as well as the student body.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Mandatory lectures, their match isn't great, they seem adversarial to those who are seeking to be top of the class and wish to pursue competitive specialties. they don't have the resources or opportunities available to help people who want to seek competitive specialties other than connecting with dermatologists or orthopedic surgeons the school knows which isn't that much help.

They offer food after the MMI.
