✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed my application/essays, SND, ValueMD, SGU website

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer is a former SGU grad who was very positive, but realistic about his SGU experience. It didn't feel like he was trying to sell the school, but was giving his honest opinion.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to stress out. It was a very casual interview with no surprizes. I read the reviews on this site and my experience was very similar to most other applicants, including the questions.

What are your general comments?

My interview was in my state, 30 min away, by a former SGU grad. First 10 min is the essay, which is really easy (what experience influenced your adult life? describe three characteristics a physician should possess. a person who has influenced you.) Then he let me know that there's a list of questions required by SGU (which were all pretty basic). The rest was casual conversation. If you had academic difficulty in the past, obviously this question will definitely be asked right away.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
