read SDN website. asked questions of current students

What impressed you positively?

very nice, collegial atmosphere. They stress research, but research can be anything (i.e "having a question and finding the answer")

What impressed you negatively?

The expenses! It's probably one of the most expensive medical schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Chicago is really cool and that people go out into town. If I had known, I would have booked my flight to leave the next day instead of the same day, so that I could go into Chicago and see the city a little more.

What are your general comments?

Relaxed! One of most relaxing and least stressful interviews I have ever had. Really, really low key. The interveiwers really knew everything about you. Be sure to read up on your secondaries and your AMCAS, b/c they will ask questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
