✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over RFU's website, read some books about healthcare, read SDN's feedback.

What impressed you positively?

Free parking, the fact that students move into the city during their 3rd and 4th years, the video screens walking you through anatomy lab, and the amazingly high board scores positively impressed me.

What impressed you negatively?

Upon arrival, I was *very* turned off by the location, since I drove north from the school to explore that neighborhood. However, the tour guide told us about Lake Forest, a small town just south of the school, and it was beautiful--definitely a place where I could see myself going to study/shop/eat. It would have been really nice if they had a few snacks for us before the interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known not to drive north from the school, but instead to explore the area south of the school.

What are your general comments?

After the interview & tour, I could definitely see myself going to RFU. The students that I met were very excited about how high their grades were, due to lack of distractions & presence of helpful faculty.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
