What impressed you negatively?

"The school struck me as a Last Chance U for CA residents with malicious recruiting tactics. Their mission and values page states they want to increase physician availability in areas that need it the most, make efforts to recruit prospective students from underserved areas that are statistically more likely to go on and serve those medically underdeveloped areas, then turn around and charge some of the highest secondary app fees, upcharge their tuition 25% above the national average, and ask for not one, not two, but THREE days off of work for interviewing. The whole process was tone-deaf and seemed like they use the whole "Why do you want to serve in underserved communities?" schtick to get grants and donations easier. When I pressed about this in the interviews, I got some generic spill about student initiative rather than any concrete answers. They have zero EC programs that are developed/lead by the administration (it's 100% student-run), they don't have any satisfying explanations about their subpar rankings, nobody can explain what the higher-than-average tuitions go to since the school is practically in a slum and lacks necessary amenities for learning effectively, and one of the students during the student-leader sessions flat out admitted they wished they had researched the campus more before accepting their offer. Terrible impression of the school." Report Response
