How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school's website, re-read AMCAS and secondary apps

What impressed you positively?

Facilities were really nice, school's location in downtown Chicago is really great, close to everything.

What impressed you negatively?

They don't really have student housing so to speak, so housing close to the school gets pretty pricey.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That PBL is not as big a deal as the website made it seem. Also that they have an MD/MPH program that's FOUR years :-)

What are your general comments?

It was a great experience, all the students I spoke to were really enthusiastic about the school. Seems like a good place to spend four years.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
