✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my AMCAS, school website, SDN, current events

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were amazing, especially the famously and rightly talked about anatomy lab with sky lights. The train ride from NYC was a quick 40 minutes, meaning that is close enough for when you need the distractions of city life, and far enough when you need to stap down and study.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school gets alot of unfair bad press on SDN. All of the students I chatted with seemed extremely happy. I found the on campus housing to be very convinient and spacious. The large class size brings a great diversity of students.

What are your general comments?

I was pretty stress free but I think I may have been talking too fast since I was trying to squeeze in alot of info.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
