How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN interview feedback, reread my secondary.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are amazing. The children's hospital is one of the best that I have ever seen. The students all really care about each other--the faculty also cares about the students. Students not only have classes with professors but the professors also participate in community service with the students. Very helpful, welcoming environment.

What impressed you negatively?

Norfolk looks a little depressing but I think it's just different from anything else that I have ever experienced. They have a really great mall and a really great part of town as well--they have to with all the doctors.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses
