No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read every single posting on SDN, studied my applications/essays, went on the school tour (helped a lot to go on the tour BEFORE having the interview)

What impressed you positively?

Enthusiasm of the students and the enormous contributions they make to the surrounding community.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is not in the best neighbourhood, but that's also a positive because it allows you to see a wide range of medical conditions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I read how relaxed and stress-free the interview was, but didn't really understand how much so until I was in my interview. It is totally stress free - the way it should be if the purpose of the interview is to get to know more about the candidate as a person.

What are your general comments?

I went on the school tour before my interview. It gave me a better idea of what the school was looking for in its candidates. My interviewer was very friendly. Told me in the beginning that her role was to be my advocate in the committee meetings. This really made me relax more, though I was still a bit nervous. We basically went through my application pointing out it's strengths and weaknesses giving me a chance to elaborate on each.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
