What are your general comments?
Excellent interview experience. There was a girl there that flew in from AFRICA to interview there, if that gives you any idea how prestigious this school is. It's definitely not a school for those people who think of it as a last resort. This school is serious about it's mission and if you're not 100% on board with it, they will know and you will FAIL in the end. I'm very impressed and though it was my #1 choice going in, it solidified my resolve once I interviewed there.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What was the most interesting question?
Having been a military nurse for the past 9 years, what do you see are some concerns for making the transition to being a doctor?

SDN, Web site, primary and secondary, spoke at length with some administrators there I knew.
What was the most difficult question?
How do you feel about giving up being a LT and becoming an ENS again?
What impressed you positively?
The curriculum!! 800 more hours than any other medical school in contingency medicine and ER medicine. This is why I want to be a military DOC!!
What impressed you negatively?
I think this place has a strong potential to be REALLY COLD. BRRRRRR. The students were kind of luke warm, though they did come off as enjoying their program and their lifestyle. The pay was pretty good $43,000.00 a year. But most of the students were married so I got put with a married one. We didn't have much in common since I was single, but I still got the picture. Good school, great program, great friends, great benefits.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Traffic is a little hectic there.
