What impressed you positively?

"Since the school is newer, the facilities are very nice. The staff was very welcoming and nice as well. The students who gave the tour were honest and were willing to ask any question we had. It is also nice that there are 3 different learning pathways to choose from so you can pick what works best for you." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The school ''campus'' is a single building. There is a dress code enforced whenever you step foot into the building as well as an attendance policy. Six students are assigned to a cadaver (versus 4 at most other schools). The entire building is not wireless, but they are working on that. No food or drink outside of the cafeteria. The building closes at 11:30pm. Students made it sounds like there wasn't much clinical exposure/practice in the 1st two years." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The entire day was very relaxing and I wasn't nervous at all. We sat in the same room for 3.5 hours where they talked about a lot of things and not in a very orderly manner. Basicly we were briefed a lot on how to interview and how friendly the interviewers were. the other bad thing was that each individual was pulled out at a different time to go to their interview, but when you left for your interview you were missing some of the informational talks. I missed the entire speech on finacial aid. Thankfully I had already interviewed at another school so the speech is pretty much the same. " Report Response
