No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Talking to others who had interviewed there, reading SDN interview feedback.

What impressed you positively?

Organization of day, sincerity of staff and students, the easing into classes by postponing anatomy until the second semester, diverse student population, the fact that a 4th year was available to speak about the clinical experience he had at the school, Dr. Sarno's hilarity.

What impressed you negatively?

Cost of living in Boston, lack of a campus, cost of school, lack of healthy eateries in nearby vicinity (Au Bon Pain cuisine is for the most part LOADED with calories & preservatives & fat), no free athletic facilities for students.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Interviewers do not have to read file before they interview you. Both of mine did. First interview was brief because interviewer very quickly turned it over to me to ask questions. That was a bit of a surprise. Second interviewer was a very charming man who asked straightforward questions about my experiences and even tested my language skills. Overall a low stress and enjoyable day that lets you really gain insight into the school, its environment and the students that go there.
