How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, reading over my app.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was so amazing and warm. I really felt welcome and like I belonged. The students all seemed very happy, and we ran into a bunch of students finishing up a presentation on the rural primary care track, and they ran over to give a mini presentation on it for those of us who were interested, even though they had somewhere else to be. There is a small class size, and they are very transparent about their admissions process.

What impressed you negatively?

There is a class ranking and there are letter grades. That's it. Not a deal breaker, but it is a negative to me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much colder it is there than where I drove from (only about 6 hours away). We did a little walking outside, and it was freezing.

What are your general comments?

Very, very impressed. I loved this school. It's my top choice now.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Continue being awesome!
