How did you prepare for the interview?

Read all SDN questions for MSSM, read school website, reread honors thesis, read most current research in the field I am currently working in. All of this was overkill!

What impressed you positively?

Lots of early clinical exposure, community service and opportunities for research. Also, the students really love Sinai and seem to have found a balance between life and school. The students were also very proud of their school. While waiting in the cafeteria I was approached by a random 2nd year who asked if I was interviewing. When I told him I was he very enthusiastically told me how much he loved Sinai and was so happy that he decided to attend.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing
