Most physicians and residents at the hospital make themselves available to those that'd like to work with them." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Awesome school!! This is my first choice! :) The admissions office is really nice. I missed the financial aid talk and the tour because one of my interviews was scheduled at the same time. The secretary got materials for me and showed me where I could go to talk to people about financial aid. And she found me a student to show me around/take me on a tour - if she hadn't been able to, she said she would have shown me around herself! Awesome!" Report Response
