How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the school's website, read reviews on SDN website, read over my application, talked with one of my friends who is a current student at the school.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone is extremely friendly - this includes the interviewers, students, staff in the admissions office, and even my fellow interviewees. The facilities are brand new - seeing the gross anatomy lab was very cool.

What impressed you negatively?

The location isn't the greatest.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They accept a high percentage of applicants invited for an interview. Following an interview, it is rare that they reject an applicant - you are either accepted or placed on the waiting list.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I had a great experience. My interview was scheduled for 10:00 am, so I arrived around 9:30 am. The interviewers were running late, so I didn't actually interview until 10:30 am. The wait wasn't too bad though - they give you a folder with information about the school in it, so I read that over. The interview was very laid-back and conversational. It was one physician and one fourth year medical student. Both were very nice. They really only asked about myself and about my experience working in the ER. At noon, the six of us who had interviewed in the morning were taken on a tour of the school followed by lunch with our tour guides.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
