How did you prepare for the interview?

AZCOM website, SDN interview feedback

What was the most difficult question?

One of the situational questions was quite difficult for me although I thought that I had answered it thoroughly.

What impressed you positively?

The board pass rate is fantastic! WOW! Also, I liked the curriculum. The facilities are really impressive and the campus is beautiful and serene. The library looks very spacious. The students and faculty were very nice and eager to answer questions. Also, the interview is a partially closed file interview. So, the interviewers only have your employment/volunteer/extracurricular activities information and your essays. It really gives them a chance to get to know you. I thought that lunch was pretty good!

What impressed you negatively?

Although I had a really good interview, I felt a little badgered during the process. There were a few uncomfortable moments although most of it went pretty smoothly. I'm also a little wary about their 3rd and 4th year clinical rotations system.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Cab rides are expensive... Even if you are staying only a few blocks away from the school, it costs a minimum of $7 to catch a cab. I actually wish that I had rented a car so that I could have explored Phoenix and the valley.
