I'm a student at CCOM. This place has *really* good basic sciences. More specifically the anatomy department has a really great pundit, Dr. Allin; pharmocology has Dr. Prozialek who is an excellent lecturer. Physiology is good, with a weak link here and there. Microbiology...I hear is good. I've stopped going to lectures and read hand-outs for that class. Professors' doors are open here. You have nothing to lose by interviewing; you and everyone else at the interview will be on equal ground, and the decision will be based solely on your attitude toward life, you know, vague, soft stuff.
