How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my AMCAS application, reviewed SDN and the school's site

What impressed you positively?

The students couldn't speak more highly of the learning environment, and they all seemed relatively normal and had social lives.

What impressed you negatively?

I had originally planned to stay in the student dorm on the med campus (Deming), only to find that they hadn't prepared for my stay. The dorm seemed more like a hospital ward and I was not impressed. While waiting for a cab to a hotel, the guard reminded me to stand in view of the cameras because it was ''dangerous in this area''. The downtown area where the med campus is located is really a bit seedy and everyone lived uptown, in the nicer area. You'd also need a car here, which I don't have.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I had to shell out MORE money for a hotel room!

What are your general comments?

I would say that the students sold the school and the city was a bit depressing... Bourbon Street could get old after the first two years
