What are your general comments?

The website isn't very thorough, and there wasn't much information provided about the school at my interview. I would recommend going to the school for the interview if at all possible. I was already a little skeptical of the school, but would like to hope that this experience is not representative of what to expect from them in terms of education.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about yourself

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, discussed ethical issues with friends

What impressed you positively?

My student interviewer (M4) was great and provided feedback on the experience at the med school, indicating that he felt adequately prepared for a future in medicine.

What impressed you negatively?

My faculty interviewer didn't show much interest throughout most of the interview. I felt like we were just going through the motions, and found it hard to let "myself" come across in the questions I was asked. Any chance at conversation was usually cut short by another question.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Interviewing in Las Vegas can be a disadvantage. I'm not sure how the process is in Reno, but I don't feel that I got the right impression of the school. I wasn't given any information about the school, and very little effort was taken to attract me to the school.
