SDN, Dr. Gray's book, mock interview

What impressed you positively?

Admissions staff, students, and random staff were SUPER kind. Excellent facilities. Got back to me in less than 3 weeks.

What impressed you negatively?

They definitely tried to sell the school a little hard, while my other schools didn't.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

So. Much. Paperwork. Took me a solid 4 hours to assemble, fill, and send each form. Also, be prepared to get medical clearance. If you have no existing medical conditions, it's quick and painless. THIS CAN PREVENT YOU FROM GOING TO THE SCHOOL.

What are your general comments?

Overall seems like a great program. Commitment is long, but should not be an issue for those with a desire to serve.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Warn students about the amount of paperwork during secondaries.
