What impressed you negatively?

"The cost. If you are out of state it is rediculous and unlike other schools you cannot gain state residency unless you are in the state for 12 months not as a student. Also it seems like everyone applying there has some connection to the other applicants since most are from the state or go to school in the state, leaving us out state people wondering if we will feel isolated during medical school here as well."
