SDN, Read over my personal statement and application

What impressed you positively?

They have a really impressive Clinical Skills Resource Center and the 3rd year students get a lot of hands on experience.

What impressed you negatively?

The average and below-average USMLE Step 1 scoring of this school's students compared to national figures. Also, the 1st and 2nd year classrooms seem old and gloomy. I can imagine spending most of my time in there for 2 years. Thridly, the tour guide was enthusisastic, but he seemed like someone who only cared about how much $$$ he could make once he graduated.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The free shuttle to and from the hotel-airport only runs til 8pm, so plan accordingly, otherwise be prepared to pay a $25 cab ride each way.

What are your general comments?

My first interview went extremely well, but the second interviewer seemed to be studying me rather than actually listening to what I had to say. It was later in the day, and he seemed like he just wanted to go home, and looked down at his watch twice, which I thought was pretty rude.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
