What impressed you positively?

"Everything - the admissions staff is very friendly and I felt like they had taken the time to get to know my application, the facilities are amazing and the new construction should make the health center world-class. My interviewers really knew my app and were genuinely interested in talking to me. They all loved the school and made me really want to go here. The faculty seems very responsive to student feedback. I really like the technology (flex-time quizzes and tests - take them online from Friday 5 PM till Monday 8 AM, PDAs for 3rd years, online clinical skills simulator for practice)" Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"not much - AA is a great town, but it's lacking in diversity (luckily, you can do some clinical rotations in Detroit if you want to), worried that because lectures are video-taped and put on the web that no one would come and it would be harder to interact w/ classmates" Report Response
