-SDN, TUSOD website, TUSOD booklet, mock interview,

What impressed you positively?

-the number of patients, the entire lobby is full of them practically all day -students are very cool, down to earth -most students (90%+) live in Roxborough, neighborhood in nice part of Philadelphia -accessibility, easy to get to by car, bus, subway or train from all over the Philadelphia area -Brian talked about beer just as much as I do! -Brian really makes you feel welcome and comfortable

What impressed you negatively?

-did not really get to talk to any faculty -did not get to speak to, or see Dr. Deem (the lady who makes the ultimate decision if you get in or not!)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

-they like making their applicants write (supplementary essays(3), questions # 3 (below) -not many spots left, Brian said "about 5", b/c of late applications, should've assumed that though -if you dont care for the inner city, dont go to tusod
