SDN
What impressed you positively?
Faculty was very personable and helpful.
What impressed you negatively?
Lack of knowledge student ambassadors had about the facilities of the school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That there was a mock lecture at the end of the interview so I would have allotted more time.
What are your general comments?
Overall, the school is alright. Pros: great faculty, and students seem very social with each other. Cons: facilities are not the greatest and no early clinical exposure.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
If they were to send out interview invites and ask us for confirmation or scheduling, it'd be better if a holiday did not conflict with the response. Most of us waited almost a week (close to the deadline given for us to schedule) before we got any response.
