What are your general comments?
The school makes a great effort to make interviewees feel welcome. Lunch is really nice and there are so many students to ask questions, so you do get a really good feel for the school. Overall though, it is a really long day, especially if you have to drive home that night, so I recommend getting plenty of rest the day before and taking snacks for the way home.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
If you had to look back over your career as a doctor, what 2 things would have had to happen in order for you to say you have had a good career?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, looked at school's website
What impressed you positively?
all the facilities are brand new, they have an amazing simulation center, the school is growing with lots of new opportunities, the small class size is really personal, it's a great school if you're married & have kids b/c all the spouses help out with child-care, lots of scholarships (especially if you're out of state), cost of living is really low (like $400/mo for an apartment really close to the school)
What impressed you negatively?
the location is very rural, you have to move to Temple the same time you take your boards, the anatomy lab only has room for 4 students, but 6 are assigned to a tank - so on the day you're not dissecting your group members have to teach you the material,
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
If you are driving there in the morning, you're going to drive in the dark the whole time, which makes it hard to read the directions and see the signs.
