What are your general comments?

"All right...To begin with let me just say that I am not an embittered failure. While I did not get accepted to ETSU, I got accepted to a school ranked 80 spots ahead of Quillen, so trust me when I say... I really found some of the comments I heard at Quillen disturbing. For a school whose mission statement includes "improvement of health care in Northeast Tennessee and the surrounding Appalachian Region" and "strengthen our cultural competence" my time there saw a lack of the later in relation to the former. Let me just say I definitely am the stereotypical East Tennessean. My family has lived there for 225 years. The house I grew up in had the rusting cars out front and the infestations and ticks inside. One of my parents is a felon. I am what most people would call "white trash". When the alumni that interviewed me walked over to introduce himself he was wearing a pair of those "hillbilly buck teeth" that you buy at a gag store and he asked me in his best Hee-Haw accent "So ya wan ta go ta medicall Skewl?" Let's just say when I opened my mouth and he saw I never had orthodontics and that I talked much like his fake Twang, he was immediately not impressed, nor was I. I got the impression from my time there that this school was interested in training physicians who would look down at their patients instead of eye-to-eye. I definitely felt an air of superiority on campus. There is an elitist attitude there. If you are not about that, I do not recommend this school. If you are about sipping mint juleps and wearing the latest from Brooks Brothers on your father's yacht, by all means...you know where you can go. " Report Response
