How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, secondary, schools website, biomedical ethics course, talked to friends who had been.

What impressed you positively?

Great school! Everyone is very involved in the communitee, volunteering, and student organizations...even the professors. Everyone seemed very approachable and genuine. I felt that the interviewers took time to get to know my entire profile and asked great questions. They may come off as a little intimidating at first with the tough ethical ones but if you stick to your opinion with good examples, you will be fine.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing other than the facilities are not the most up to date. However, they do have great hospitals that are very innovative.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How long it would take to get there! The traffic going through Richmond is pretty bad, allow yourself more than enough time or stay the night before.

What are your general comments?

Overall I loved the school and location, I would definitly go there is I was accepted:)
