What was the most difficult question?

A strange question about whether I would tell a terminally ill patient he was going to die in a few days knowing he would die instantly, didn't have any family or friends, and would be happier not knowing he was going to die in a few days.

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read SDN interview feedback, read my secondary, looked through Wake's bulletin

What impressed you positively?

the facilities are really technologically advanced, especially the anatomy lab. It has computer/tv screens for every table. Plus, all students are given a laptop (not simply added onto tuition)

What impressed you negatively?

Winston-Salem makes Durham look like New York

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much I would dislike Winston-Salem

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was very relaxed and everyone was really nice. It was a little disconcerting hearing that both my tour guides came to Wake because it was the only place they got in...it's a great school but in a bad location, and I think that hurts its student recruitment.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
