How did you prepare for the interview?

Talking to other students, SDN website.

What impressed you positively?

Students were very friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are old and cramped. Learning is entirely PBL with no clinicals until 3rd and 4th years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Where to find everything. Nothing was sent telling you where to go and who to talk to. You had to come early and figure it out.

What are your general comments?

The interview was really short. They allotted 35 minutes for the interview and it only took 15 minutes. I figured that if they wanted to admit you, they would get to know you better.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
