What impressed you positively?

"Despite being put on probation by the LCME, interviewers really believed in their school and seemed genuinely passionate about their roles as instructors." More from this Member | Report Response

"The students seemed to have neutral or positive attitudes about the school. The facilities are clean and new. Their plans for an academic medical center are bold (we'll see if they happen according to schedule, my guess is no)." More from this Member | Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"When asked whether they believe the probation from the LCME was warranted, one of the interviewers essentially say they could not comment on that question directly. He did say, however, that the issues that led to the probation had been resolved." More from this Member | Report Response

"No options to pick interview dates, last minute information regarding the interview process" More from this Member | Report Response

"The school is located in an industrial park in Elk Grove. The President of the school gave a weird rant about how students should never be advocates because they have one job: to learn. Seemed like he doesn't want students protesting the university admin...weird thing to rant about on interview day. The school is for-profit. You can only take out private loans, and there's no financial aid." More from this Member | Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That the interview was 1-on-1; both interviews follow the same format (MMI question + Dialogue)" More from this Member | Report Response

"How long it would take them to get back to me post-interview. And their acceptance protocols/paperwork are archaic considering it's a brand new school. Everything needs to be moved online." More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Though it is a for-profit school with a lot of sketchy rumors surrounding it, the staff I spoke with seem to really be happy in their positions and confident that the students they work with are 100% prepared for their future roles as physicians." More from this Member | Report Response

"I would go here if it were my only option, but if you have other MD options, go elsewhere." More from this Member | Report Response
