What impressed you positively?

What are your general comments?

"I can honestly say that I was impressed. My other choice was PCOM, and I wasn't sure how to decide until I looked at the numbers (number of elective/selective choices, cost of education, living expenses, number of topics taught, number of hours for OPP/OMM, number of students who got one of their top three choices of residencies). They are also ranked as matching one of the highest number of specialties among DO schools." Report Response
