What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The acceditation committee was there, so things got kind of scrambled. Dr. Chaffin briefly spoke with us, as he had to attend his own interview with the committee. A lot of waiting around due to this, but the others who were interviewing with me were very friendly! If we all got in, then I would be a happy student doctor!" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"It went well. I knew a lot about the school already, so I was at ease at the start. The tour was not so good...like I said the accredidation committee really confused the day. Everyone was nice..tons of students out and about. The campus is beautiful and the lunch was good. They do let you know their decesion in 7 days... I was fortunate to be accepted! The school offers so much and I am excited to be apart of the class of 2004." Report Response
