Self-reflection, SDN, mock-interview

What impressed you positively?

The rotations are all in the Chicago-area, which is nice because you don't have to move around multiple times during the third and fourth years.

What impressed you negatively?

The students didn't seem like they ever relaxed, the campus felt like a summer camp to me, nobody went out of their way to really inform applicants about the school's strengths, and there was a lot of down-time where we were just sitting in a room waiting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The interview was short and laid-back. At the same time, it didn't feel like enough time for me to really convey who I am to them and vice versa.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
