How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, university website, read "Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down" by Anne Fadiman

What impressed you positively?

Everyone is SUPER friendly.. they don't want to stress you out.. they want to "sell" their school to you.. which they are extremely good at!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I was going to be interviewed by four different people at four different times throughout the day. IT was actually okay, I just didn't expect it.. plus it was my first interview, but all worked out in the end

What are your general comments?

Everyone is Great! Dr. Bera and the gen surgery team that is helping out this year is very accomodating and Terri is just the best. This school has a warm and homey feel to it, but also a very professional and intense setting.
