How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN feedback, looked over my AMCAS and secondary essays, researched the school's curriculum.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities... The anatomy lab was great, and it looked like the students had tons of resources available to them. I was also rather impressed by the medical center and the area surrounding the school. It'd be a great place to live.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview style. 3 15-20 minute interviews was rather odd. I felt like I could barely scratch the surface before having to leave.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No merit scholarships for out-of-state students. Student research participation seems to be lacking.

What are your general comments?

I had the exact same interview 3 times in a row, but with 3 different doctors... It seems like they didn't discuss beforehand what types of questions they were going to ask. I was quite literally asked the exact same questions by all 3 of my interviewers. It was frustrating, because I ended up having to talk about similar things in each one, and I don't think I was able to portray a lot about myself that I would have liked to.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
