What impressed you positively?

"The interviewers were very nice and I got NO ethnics questions thankfully. The healthcare question wasn't posed in an antagonistic way, it was more of a conversation topic. The faculty seems very dedicated to teaching. I liked that there was no big undergrad overshadowing the med school, so focus is on med education. School is very conducive to studying so I think the students study very well and do well on USMLE. Can do some rotations anywhere in the country. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
