How did you prepare for the interview?

Read about the school online (they have an excellent website),read SD, talked to students.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very friendly and genuinely interested in me as as a person. From the admissions staff to other students each person welcomed me, it was a wonderful feeling. The facillities are wonderful (particularly the gym). The day I went there was a panel in one of the classes made up 3rd year and 4th year students, and interns discussing taking the boards, what to expect in the next two years, and other general questions. The professor emphasized both practical medical issues and personal life issues to consider. I also like the idea of working in small groups for part of the time.

What impressed you negatively?

There did not seem to be a lot of emphasis on research. It seems like a great school for clinical skills, but research was not featured.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Lot's of walking!! Ladies do not where more than 1 inch heals. Someone else said this, and I ignored it, and regretted that.

What are your general comments?

Very positive experience! There motto of treating the spirit too seems to be incorporated in multiple levels, and not just a nice saying.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
