How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN--i really should have read over my application again, they really study it.

What impressed you positively?

The Dean's message about how they select students, it seems like they put a lot of thought into who will make a good caretaker, not just on MCAT scores. Students were super chill and had cool life experiences.

What impressed you negatively?

Their curriculum is undergoing a lot of change, could be detrimental for students. Also, tons of lecture time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interviews would be just a little harder/require more thought than i expected.

What are your general comments?

I definitely recommend the night before social, the students were amazing. I attended a class at 8, intro by Dean at 930, medical student panel at 11, Jason's Deli lunch at 12, student tour, interviews, cookies and lemonade with students (optional), go home.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
