No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

outlined potential questions and answers, read my essays, looked at feedback on SDN

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were both very friendly and laid back and tried to ''sell'' the school to me. The anatomy labs were impressive as well as the virtual microscope that is used for histology.

What impressed you negatively?

It seemed a little disorganized. My first interviewer got me from the waiting room before the dean came by to introduce himself so I didn't get to hear him speak or meet him. After my 2nd interview, I sat in the waiting room for another hour before they found a student to give us a tour (apparently, most of the regular tour guides were unavailable b/c we were interviewing on the day of a biochem exam)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

It went well. Both interviews were laid back and unstressful.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
