What impressed you positively?

"The honesty of the students who gave the tour and the friendliness of everyone there. The school prides itself on its clinical curriculum, which seems rigorous but necessary. You interview with the entire admissions board, which may seem daunting, but is much better than one-on-one interviews because you get to see and interact with everyone who will be giving you the yes or no into the school, not just one or two people. The faculty is confident in the school and its performance, especially compared to other programs, which I liked a lot." Report Response
