What impressed you negatively?

"unfortunately, a lot. i went in with high expectations about this school and was quite disappointed. the interview day itself is unorganized and you have WAY too much downtime to just sit around and stare the other applicants in the face. For 45k a year, i expected to be wow-ed. the library is small and only open 7a-11p. to me, the school as a whole felt more like an undergrad campus than a medical school." Report Response
