What are your general comments?

"This school is a tiny depressing building that seemed deserted and lifeless the minute I walked in. The students seemed slightly dull and the admissions staff are a throw back to a highschool popularity contest. They are looking for people who will play their game. Also, Megan and Bea were obsessed with the whole "hokie" thing. They also presented a rather scewed version of what osteopathy actually is and made a rather pathetic attempt to make this school look better than it actually is. They should choose admissions people who's IQ's exceed 75 to present the school and the practice of osteopathic medicine. " Report Response
