How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN Interview feedback, website, previous interviews.

What impressed you positively?

Warmth and sincerity from admissions people, facilities, students seemed to really enjoy being there.

What impressed you negatively?

Hmmmm, not much about the school per se, but it was about zero degrees when I visited and it snowed heavily. Oh yeah, if I had to say one thing about the school it would be the fact that the buildings are not interconnected.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The price tag. Second two years pretty expensive. Definitely still interested but it just took me by surprise.

What are your general comments?

Well it was a small interview group, about 8 or nine of us. We all got along very well. We had to be at the admissions office for 9 am. There were three interviews where the interviewers had everything in my file except my grades and MCAT score...I think. Interviews were not stressful at all, in fact it is probably the best interview experience I have had. The day I visited there was a christmas party going on for the students and it really struck me how happy everyone seemed. I really liked this school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
