Read AMCAS, secondary, SDN

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed very cheerful and happy. The pass/fail first two years. My interviewers were just nice and chill. The student lounge.

What impressed you negatively?

One of my tour guides was a little over the top and a bit annoying. The dorms, while nice, weren't really that impressive. Although, the price is right. Some of the facilities just seem a bit downtrodden. I don't like how Sinai's not part of a University - seems like it's missing something I just can't put my finger on.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Two short interviews, followed by two tours - both very informative. Lunch was served in between the tours. Overall, very low stress day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
