How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the SDN interview feedback and at lunch, the current students prepped us for the interview.

What impressed you positively?

The school is nice looking and they discuss research opportunities heavily.

What impressed you negatively?

They spoke that there is a great partnership with MD students but the DPM students did not really agree with this.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That traveling, hotel, cab rides were going to be a nightmare. I would have better planned the trip.

What are your general comments?

The school was okay but I did not feel strongly connected to the students or program. It was one of my first interviews and was good practice. The cafeteria was nice and they had sushi at the time. I left the interview knowing that I would not attend this school if accepted.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
