How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

The Children's Hospital and the fact that there is a smaller than average class size.

What impressed you negatively?

The recent drop in board pass rate. The first year lecture hall was old with those plastic seat that I hate.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Interviews will be scattered around and you may have to drive. I had to speed a bit so I wasn't late for my third interview.

What are your general comments?

All in all very low stress interviews. They seem to place a lot of merit on their interviews. The first year auditorium is a bit old. The students seem happy to be there and the area around the school is nice. They are very proud of their children's hospital and rightly so. It is a very impressive facility. The interviews were one on one and conversational. If accepted here I would most definitely go.
