How did you prepare for the interview?

Gathering questions from SDN.

What impressed you positively?

The Eye Clinic and location outside of SCCO.

What impressed you negatively?

There weren't any students walking around campus so I didn't get a chance to talk to any students, except my tour guide.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview would be question, answer, pause, next question. I expected it to be more conversational.

What are your general comments?

The interview was a bit more difficult than I expected with many questions asked. It was hard to decipher if the interviewers really liked you or not. Overall, the campus and location are really nice. The Eye Clinic was amazing. Staff were friendly.
