Who else applied to Hawaii?

Did anyone else here apply to UH? I am still anxiously waiting to hear back from them and was wondering if anyone else was too! Also, wondering if anyone knows anything about this program, I have heard mixed things about the program and am pretty curious but really want to go here!

A student at my university received an acceptance two? or three? days ago (she posted about it on social media). I know she is seriously considering the program and was a careful researcher during app season. Over Spring Break, she also went on holiday to Hawaii, and toured the campus. All of her photos show a beautiful and up to date clinic and campus. Apparently during her tour she also interviewed with the program- I am not sure if it was a planned, or impromptu, interview. The acceptance was received was after she came back from the trip.  

I would be interested to hear the perspective of a student who is enrolled in the program. It is hard to tell whether threads bashing programs are spoken out of personal anger, or an actual problem. (I also saw the negative Manoa review thread, and am thinking of applying to the program next cycle, but want more personal reviews as well).

I can't answer questions about the program there (the campus is very nice), but I can answer questions about living on O'ahu.

I got accepted and am also seriously considering it! I am nervous about how much the entire experience is going to cost me since everything in Hawaii seems to be more expensive. It's a once in a life time opportunity though. I contacted a student who was already attending and she said she loves her program. JMK, if your friend decides to attend Hawaii tell her to shoot me a message.

I got accepted as well. I have committed to going there. I liked the outlook of the program. And all of the professors seem to be very nice
