How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, looked at the Wisconsin website, and talked to friends about the school.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are great and the school has some awesome programs for students out in the local community. Everyone is extremely welcoming.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing at all.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had never heard of their DOC program (going out to local schools and teaching elementary/middle school/high school students about their health, and the great international programs that they offer.

What are your general comments?

The day was very laid back and comfortable. Everyone seemed very happy and enthusiastic about the school. The first interview is one-on-one with someone associated with the medical school and very conversational. The second interview is really just hanging out with two current medical students and three other interviewees. The students pretty much just talked about their lives for the entire 30 minutes and really made you feel at home. Enjoy your time at the school. Best of luck!
