Read school's website, interview materials, SDN.

What impressed you positively?

Their admissions staff is full of friendly people.

What impressed you negatively?

The dress code, the unenthusiastic attitude of the students (compared to other schools I've visited; not saying they were zombies), the class size.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That most of the affiliated hospitals are outside the Erie area...many, many miles outside.

What are your general comments?

It was a very stereotypical interview. They gave us a little article to read and then half an hour later, during the actual interview, they asked us to summarize what we had read. The questions were so cardboard-like; no personality to them. The facilities were pretty standard, nothing special. The tour guide didn't show up so Dr. Wise showed us around instead. I left the interview with a one-word summary of my feelings in my head: eh.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
