SDN, school website, mock interviews, reviewed AMCAS

not much flexibility in the curriculum until 4th year

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing i can think of offhand

What are your general comments?

Overall a positive experience, despite the very different format. You're literally timed in each room by a kitchen timer being kept by a member of the Medical Guild outside the interview room. I'd be interested to know why they choose to interview in this way
