What impressed you positively?

"SIM LAB! It's an amazing tool for training doctors and not all schools have it. They also use standardized patients as a training tool. My interviewers were great and made the environment fairly low stress, and one even joked around with me a bunch. There are also a LARGE variety of research opportunities, but they don't advertise them all that well online. Also, the students are great in that they aren't cut-throat competitive, but instead work as a team to learn." Report Response

"That I needed to walk inside to get a parking pass. I was worried I needed to print it ahead of time, but it wasn't discussed in the email." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"It's a great school, and visiting it made it go up on my list.
