What impressed you positively?

"Loved how open the Director of Admissions was about the changes the school is making to get off of probation. School also had a 100% match rate last year! Impressive. Summer anatomy seems like the best thing ever, in terms of decreasing the first semester load. The med school building is also very cute. Love that Syracuse University is right there, and there are a lot of shops/restauarnts nearby. Oh, and had the #1 most amazing interview lunch here. Italian food ftw. So unexpected." Report Response
