I forgot to review my personal statement and application. I also skimmed an ethics book that had summaries of recent bioethical issues." Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"The student ambassadors were extremely friendly and approachable. The campus and facilities were nice. I especially loved the anatomy lab. They had all of these flat screen tv's along with a moveable camera that could zoom in on parts of the cadavers. High tech! Wow! The admissions staff and interviewers put me at ease instantly."
