"The admissions staff and tour guides were really happy to see us and seemed to really love the school. Everyone just seemed really happy and they emphasized the helpful environment. The anatomy labs are really nice and new (plasma tvs and HD cameras for displays) and the learning environment is well designed. Everyone gets their own desk with drawers" Report Response
"The tour guides were late. My interview (and that of two others) was pushed from 2:00 to 1:00 so the tour for us was cut short. We didn't see the student center or the library and had to eat lunch after the interview, which was plain. My interviewer had not seen my application and asked questions straight from a list. He was skimming the app throughout the interview." Report Response
"Valet parking doesn't take SUVs with roof racks. I had a Nissan Xterra with a rack and they said it was too tall for the underground garage. The lunch consisted of a water bottle, banana, small bag of potato chips, and a turkey and lettuce sandwich, not the most filling." Report Response
"He asked me at the end about what other schools I applied to, then said "I'm sure you'll be fine"- greaaaat" Report Response
