What impressed you positively?
Brand new clinic, students were friendly and happy to be there.
What impressed you negatively?
After a warm introduction by Dr. Javed, it felt as though my Interviewers weren't all that interested in getting to know me. I'm sure they're busy people, but my interviews didn't seem like a priority to them. Students that I know at MUSC all told me the interviews there are more like conversations, but I did not have that experience. Others in my group had a lot of great things to say about their interviews, so luck of the draw, I guess.
What are your general comments?
Comparing the costs to other schools I've applied to, there are schools that are cheaper to attend out of state than to stay in SC.
