What impressed you positively?

"open and friendly students-they seemed enthusiastic about the curriculum. the IQ groups do seem like a good way to start "thinking like a doctor" early on. Interviewers really listened to my answers and were prepared." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Honestly, the facilitators of the IQ groups seemed superfluous. The students really were running the show, and were openly critical of some of the facilitators. Also, I don't know if other schools allow you to tour the anatomy labs, but we were only allowed to "peek" in. Not well ventilated-could smell the fumes in the hallway with the door closed. I will pay attention to the ventilation at other schools to compare. FInancial aid is basically loans with minimal specifics on scholarships. Told us to be frugal, which I found insulting."
