"We did not get a chance to see the facilities the way I would've liked...Also, the neigborhood is not that bad, trust me! If you've never left the suburbs, yes.

What are your general comments?

"My interview was first thing in the morning. The interviewer was so pleasant and smiled the entire time. We talked for 5 minutes, I asked some questions for the next 5, then I was done. The gen presentation and fin aid pres. were horrible. The tour guides were great, very honest, but we basically peeked into the hospital and the classroom, and that's all. the day was very short, which is a pos and a neg I guess. Ddin't get the impression that they were recruiting me, which explains why they admit so many people every year just to fill the class." Report Response
