What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The Medical school administration/faculty is convincingly determined to push NYCOM into the foreground in terms of Osteopathic schools, and Med. Schools in New York in general. What the school has to offer is becoming more appealing than several of the other Med. schools in New York. Structured by a new Dean whom has shown significant promise and intelligence in the few months of her term, and newly motivated administrative staff. You will DEFINITELY need a car to move around the vicinity of the school and for Rotation years." Report Response
