What are your general comments?

"It's a nice school with some big-time people there. You probably won't ever interact with them, but it's still cool to say that the one of the few American doctors to have ever seen smallpox in the wild is at my school! Even if you're not a minority, you should still apply becuase they take a good amount of non-minorities. They are biased towards GA residents, though!" Report Response
