How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over app, studied up on ethical issues + healthcare issues.

What impressed you positively?

Everything. The lecture we sat in on, the facilities, the down-to-earth students, the student:faculty ratio, the financial aid.

What impressed you negatively?

I suppose location, but really, with this caliber of school, the place could be underwater and I'd still want to go.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews were not as stressful as I anticipated - but that's fine with me.

What are your general comments?

It's a long day, but seeing the school and facilities is worth the achy feet. The interviews were much less stressful than I thought they would be - no tricks, just getting to know you better.
