What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I learned that the admissions office gives people their interviews on a first come, first serve basis. So if you are the last one to arrive to the interview scene, be ready to wait all day (til 5pm) for your interview. And bring a good book because the admissions people don't have much to say." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"This school should be ashamed of itself and I wouldn't doubt it if they soon lose their accreditation. Many of the students complained about the professors. They also complained about how unorganized the school was. My interviewer also mentioned that the school admits people who wouldn't necessarily be accepted at other schools. So basically, this is the slum of medical schools. But the students seemed to be somewhat happy." Report Response
