How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed my essays, researched current issues in healtcare

What impressed you positively?

How laid back all the students were, the emphasis on research

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities seemed old and run down, due to the large size the school had a bit of an impersonal feel to it

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That none of my interviewers would be running on time

What are your general comments?

Although my interviewers were all nice, I did get asked quite a few tricky questions. It didn't help that they were all running late, so I ended up having to cut one interview short in order to make it to another.
