What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Seriously there's a whole big list of questions if you just read through the other feedbacks. They're all on a list (including the infamous "how many gas stations" question, which I didn't get even though I prepared for it!)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

One of my interviewers had several articles from the newspaper describing current events with moral/ethical implications (most were not medically related). He described the situations and then asked me to discuss my thoughts on them.

What was the most difficult question?

Same as "most interesting question". It was tough having to think on my feet like that, but when I got stuck my interviewer guided me through my thought process, which was nice.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN interview feedback. They really do have a list of questions that they go off of, so if you prepare for all of the questions that other students have listed in this feedback section (Have you had to deliver bad news to someone, Tell me about your best friend, Have you ever done something unethical, Have you ever had to deal with someone who had a dissenting opinion in a group....) you will be fine.

The enthusiasm of the admissions staff, the happiness of the students, and the really really collaborative atmosphere

The facilities seemed a little outdated. The dean who gave the tour was really excited about a TV and VCR in one of the classrooms!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The pop-essay! Somehow I must have missed that. They give it to you right before lunch, but don't worry, it's not bad.
