How did you prepare for the interview?

Used this website (SDN), reviewed my application, looked at the school's web page pretty extensively.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone (students, faculty, staff) was upbeat and encouraging. They were all very nice, and Dr.Wise who does the orientation is fantastic. The facilities are extremely new and very attractive. The area has much more vibrance than I gave it credit for. I was very pleasantly surprised with the experience overall.

What impressed you negatively?

I'm not a big fan of the male to female ratio. There were an awful lot of women...which is great as I am one. But the imbalance was really noticable. I'd like to see stats on men vs. women.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everything was incredibly low-stress. Everyone on this site says so, but I guess I wasn't going to believe it until I saw it for myself. It is the truth, and they go out of their way to make you feel comfortable.

What are your general comments?

I interviewed with two D.O.'s on the faculty who were both very attentive and worked well together. Neither of them was harsh or detached, and we did an awful lot of laughing! The questions come straight off of a scoring sheet, and they have all of your numbers in front of them. It is really just a &quot;get to know you&quot; session, more so than a &quot;do you really belong here&quot; kind of thing. Relax, and have fun! That's all the two guys who interviewed me wanted from me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
