How did you prepare for the interview?

read sdn, my secondary and amcas, loyola websites, ethical websites, mock interviews

What impressed you positively?

definitely the gym. also the ronald mcdonald childrens hospital was beautiful. the facilities all look new, students were friendly as were the office staff. everyone said that they liked it there.

What impressed you negatively?

there is no on campus housing, so you have to live in the nearby towns since everyone tells me that Maywood isnt the best place to live.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

dont forget to bring a copy of your amcas bc they ask you to fill out some paperwork in the beginning.

What are your general comments?

the first interview was nice and laid back. more like a conversation. where he slipped in questions. the second one was with another faculty that just seemed distracted the whole time as he clipped his finger nails and filed them as i spoke, pulled hair out of his ears, and answered a phone call during the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
