What impressed you positively?

"This is a great school. The students seemed to really love it, the school has the backing of the federal government and is located in major medical and research hub right outside D.C. (i.e., NIH and new Walter Reed hospital are literally right next door). If you have the chance, take the tour of the Walter Reed Sim Center, it really is a top-notch facility." Report Response

"All around the school offers a great opportunity to become a physician and serve your country and thus attracts a certain group of applicants (which is both good and bad).
