What impressed you positively?

"The school had a great little campus, in a very nice area. The four medical school buildings are in a different area than the rest of the undergrad campus. The med school recently renovated their interiors, so everything is new and updated (very pleasing to the eye). They are affiliated with 46 Hospitals!! Students and Admissions Staff were extremely friendly! Provided interviewees with their school's catalog, which provided information on every aspect of the school possible (from tuition, to course descriptions, and hospital affiliations).

What are your general comments?

"I absolutely loved my experience here. It really made picking this school (if accepted) over my other choices a no-brainer. Their modern facilities, combined with TOP ROTATION choices in NY and 96-97% BOARD pass rates, make this school really one of the premier DO schools in the country. The students also said there is a great sense of school pride among their classmates, which is always good to hear!" Report Response
