How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, previous interviews at other schools, mock interviews.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty, students, and environment.

What impressed you negatively?

The technology level in terms of in the clinics...even though they got some new stimulation models, but it's considered far behind compared to other schools. The school is old-looking. Not as modern-looking as I hoped.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really...SDN covers it well...oh- for people interviewing during the winter monthes and you're from somewhere warm..like CA....BRING A COAT! There was someone in our group from CA and didn't bring a coat...we just had a snow storm that dumped 12 inches of snow not too long ago. Check the weather from www.weather.com! The zip code is 48108. Parking is $1/hr. Bring at least $7-8 for parking.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview was very relaxed. It's over lunch. They do ask you to write a short essay in 15 minutes. It's no biggie. Everyone at the interview is pretty friendly. Do make conversation with others, they are watching you...how you interact socially. (I mean...do that anywhere you interview....you never know who's watching you) The information sessions do get a bit long...but they just wanted to make you stay informed- so bear with it.
