Summary of Experience:
I didn't feel that the cost was worth the "MD" degree with all the problems that CMS was having with accreditation. Maybe I should have gone, considering the sheer volume of applicants and how lucky I was to even get an invite. Oh well, all worked out for the best.

Summary of Experience:
I interviewed in Las Vegas, which is really convenient since I am a full time teacher. (Would have liked to see the actual medical school in person). The resources, cost, small class size, and curriculum were all the biggest draws. Along with two really good interviewers that made it easier to answer more difficult ethical questions, UNR was my top choice. The only negative I am aware of is that most of the rotations that I want to do are in Las Vegas, so I plan on moving back to Vegas after the first two pre-clinical years. The decisions were supposed to come out on January 15th, and so the entire day I was super nervous. What made it more difficult was that I had already booked a flight for another interview at Ohio University's DO school. I landed in Denver and saw in my email that I had been accepted!!! Immediately, I knew I was going to cancel the OU interview. Still feels surreal that I am going to be able to do what I love for my career!!!!
