What impressed you positively?

"The USMLE board scores were quite impressive and I am happy the school emphasized them. I was not aware of their strength prior to the interview. The facilities, although the layout is a bit confusing, are well-done and very modern (with exception of the 1st and 2nd year MDLs - not a big deal though). The students appear stress free and are very enthusiastic about being there." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"There were only 2 things that bothered me: 1) The MDL & Anatomy lab areas did look like a dungeon, but the Anatomy lab was relatively clean & didn't smell too bad considering what they do in there. 2) Parking - Read the signs so you know where to go. I highly recommend scoping out the area before if you can otherwise you might end up in the wrong parking garage. " Report Response
