How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, questions from other interviews, studied up on general working of healthcare system.

What impressed you positively?

All of the students seemed happy to be there and were friendly and helpful. Clinical experience starting the first week. Amazing clinical experience opportunites and electives. I thought the online reference materials were a nice touch. Super nice admissions staff.

What impressed you negatively?

Newark - but I guess that is the price you pay for such great clinical expereince.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you arrive via train, there is a shuttle that runs from Newark Penn Station to the Campus. You just have to show your interview request letter.

What are your general comments?

Overall pretty positive. Arrived met the other interviewees, tour with a very effervescent 1st year, lunch w/voucher provided, interview. My interviewer was running late due to an emergency so my interview was bumped an hour. He was very laid back and nice even though he asked some challenging questions. After the interview, he walked me through the nursery to ''meet'' his emergency patient and some of his residents.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
