What are your general comments?

"Very, very unimpressed with this school. But first the good stuff. The professors and lecturers seemed very knowledgeable and enjoyed teaching. I was lucky enough to sit in on a lecture and a seminar, both of which were great. LA is a pretty cool city, though Westwood is a bit too yuppy for a med students. On the other hand, the students did not seem very interesting and actually not even very smart (I know that's a ridiculous blanket statement, but I must have just come across a bad bunch of them). And my interviewer was awful. She was the image of what I do not want to become as a doctor: boring, bitter, and no fun." Report Response
