💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
All questions were off SDN. They take turns reading questions off of a sheet.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Looked at app, read SDN, school web site.
What impressed you positively?
Low cost of living in Erie. Good COMLEX pass rate. Open door policy with faculty. Three pathways to choose from.
What impressed you negatively?
A lot. They have lots of rules...dress code, take attendance at all classes, no food or drinks outside of cafeteria, and class is from 8-5 (about) everyday. The school is ONE building. It is a huge building, but it does not have a lot of windows, the "campus" does not have green spaces, the walls are white with no color. Very sterile building. Library is very small. Rotations are set up by the student and after talking to a 4th year student, she says this is very difficult and the school does not help all that much. Because they are a new school they do not have an alumni network. During the entire visit, we only met with 2 students and they talked about how much studying they did...
