I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

school website, sdn, friends who had interviewed already

What impressed you positively?

The support system. Sub groups of students share a study room w/ the school providing all the books for the semester...very nice study area

What impressed you negatively?

gross lab was just that...pretty bare, not the top of the line labs I am used to seeing. Although there are 8 students per cadaver, it is staggered so that only 4 students at a time actually work on the body. One team per side...but I wonder what happens for organs that aren't in pairs, like the liver?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

there is a shuttle service that goes to and from the subway...could've saved me a couple of bunions, and frostbite.
