How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, AMCAS application, spoke with friends who had interviewed here.

What impressed you positively?

The students and staff were warm and welcoming. Very supportive during the interview process and offered to be available after. I was impressed that they took into account interviews where the applicants may not have been comfortable and offered another chance to interview.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really, even though I had to walk a distance to my interview, the weather was not bad at all.

What are your general comments?

It was a great experience. I was impressed by my interviewers. They were genuine as they tried to know me beyond my application and in their presentation of the school. Jennifer Welch is definately an asset to this admission committee. I was particularly impressed that in the event that a student is not selected, they are willing to sit with a student and point out 'loop holes' in their application process.
