How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN forums and made sure I memorized questions to ask the interviewer. I felt like I barely answered any questions at all...most of the interview was her answering my questions.

What impressed you positively?

sim-labs...amount of clinical work you'll have completed upon graduation.

What impressed you negatively?

the ghetto area surrounding the school...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Plan some time trying to find the school if you aren't familiar with the area so you aren't late. I got lost a few times on the way although luckily I left really early so I had plenty of time.

What are your general comments?

My interviewer was awesome...real laid back and extremely nice. She didn't want to make it stressful and overall I was impressed with the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
