How did you prepare for the interview?

Not a lot really. Looked over previous SDN interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

Great facilities. Upcoming research complex attached to hospital. Extremely friendly students and staff. A really easygoing day overall!

What impressed you negatively?

Not a whole lot. The M1 that gave a tour couldn't really tell us a whole lot about the school considering she had only started a few weeks ago.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They have a yearly &quot;Dean's Cup&quot; competition against the students at the Law School. Sounds like fun.

What are your general comments?

A great facility with really friendly students. During the day we were routinely offered encouragement by many of the students at the school. There didn't seem to be the sort of cutthroat competitiveness that plague other schools. Even the fellow interviewers seemed cool; we chatted openly and joked about the application process. The whole day was really relaxing it itself, so don't stress over it at all. Technology is top notch, and their hospital is currently being renovated. All in all, a really great school.
