SDN interview feedback questions not only from school applied to but from many other schools, rest, 'be yourself', talk with other interview-ies before interview

What impressed you positively?

people at school and in Nashville are very friendly, southern-comfort vibe, everyone seems to be on the same level, no sense of hierarchy. Informal, but professional.

What impressed you negatively?

age of school, desparate need of repairs and upgrades

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is a HBCU (Historically Black College University), 80% of class is African American

What are your general comments?

I had a neutral experience. I knew that if I was excepted here, this is where I was meant to go. Meharry has an alliance with Vanderbilt U. so we can use their facilities (library, gym, etc.) Dental class is very friendly, staff and teachers are great, improvements are being made.
