How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website

What impressed you positively?

Computer facilities were great, and the university goes to great lengths to ensure that all the students are equipped with software (XP and Office for like 8 dollars), and hardware (wireless PDA required) to access their network.

What impressed you negatively?

Gross anatomy lab was cool to see, but 8 students per cadaver is a lot.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Questions are scripted, adherence to the script depends on your interviewer. My second interviewer treated it as a joke and went about the interview as he saw fit.

What are your general comments?

The university is aware that they are not Ivy league, so they make sure they treat their students/faculty very well. "Pop" essay before lunch was very unnecessary.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
