How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked at SDN, this website, and looked at their catalog they sent me, and prepared with my flashcards of common questions

What impressed you positively?

Everything honestly. The school REALLY cares about you as a student, they are incredibly welcoming and informative. The tour was great, little long though. My interviewers were SOOOOOO nice and welcoming. I honestly felt as if I was talking to an old friend, it was so casual, both faculty and student interviews.

What impressed you negatively?

Very LOW diversity....kinda unfortunate.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Bring an umbrella since I was drenched walking to one of the hospitals for my interview

What are your general comments?

Wonderful, students were friendly, but my group of interviewers were so Anti Social....ugg! But the school was great, huge too! They really care about you, and a great wonderful day. Very organized, they give u food like muffins and coffee and juice in the morning, u go on the tour, then someone talks to us about curriculum....go to interviews, talk to dean for 15 mins, he just says do u have any questions, its lame....then its over!
