SDN feedback

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer was extremely warm and the interview was conversational. I was able to sit in on a class as well.

What impressed you negatively?

There were no tours of student housing or the hospital. The tour was actually quite brief and not entirely informative.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I arrived at 7:45 AM and had to travel quite far across campus for the 8 AM interview. The interviewer was very good-natured, and it was extremely low-stress. Most of the questions (like that concerning Africa) were related to things that I had mentioned in my application. Then I sat in on a second-year class for two hours. First year students then led a tour that pretty much consisted of getting lunch. After that, my day was done at 1:30 PM.
