What are your general comments?

"Everyone has heard the negative publicity about the hospital MLK/Drew, but the truth is that it is not all bad (and is defintely being work on professionally through a consulting company). Some of the residency programs have been unaccredited, but they do not affect Drew students. For example instead of having a surgery clerkship at MLK/Drew, you would go to Harbor-UCLA (another county hosptial affiliated with UCLA). UCLA and Drew are very much connected, and so your resources are just as good as a Geffen Student (if not more). The required research project is not just an essay, but a very involved project. I learned a great deal during my interview and I was really impressed with every aspect of Drew/UCLA." Report Response
