How did you prepare for the interview?

Visited the school about a month in advance. Got to meet the people in the admissions office, as well as several physicians and students. Also got briefed on the curriculum and the school in general while I was there. Then the usual- reading SDN, brushing up on my answers to the most common questions, and reading about the school online.

What impressed you positively?

Every student seemed to genuinely enjoy being there. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The building (school, inpatient clinic) is brand new. The children's floor of the hospital is great. Everything is awesome.

What impressed you negatively?

The cost.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No surprises.

What are your general comments?

The school is awesome. The people are friendly and great. They do their best to make you feel welcome. The interviews are challenging, but low stress. I got the impression that they are looking for a low-stress kind of student who will add to the community there.
