What are your general comments?

I was a lot more impressed than I originally thought I would be. I lived in Columbus for a few years before so I was somewhat familiar with the area and more familiar with the city as a whole. There is a wealth of things to do in Columbus and the weather was beautiful that day which helped. This was my first interview so I was nervous, but everyone there was relaxed and friendly. I thought the interview didn't go too well, as the interviewer said at the end that he probably would have liked to see more medical experiences on my application (even though I have numerous instances of shadowing, volunteering and research) but I guess it went ok as I was accepted two weeks later.

Interview questions they asked

Tell me about yourself. (I hate this question, especially when your application is sitting right there in front of the interviewer on the table)

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

Thought about answers to standard questions, made a list relating my positive qualities to activities that I do or instances where they showed, read SDN and the school's website.
