How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my application, SDN

What impressed you positively?

It is in a nice and new location.

What impressed you negatively?

The cadaver lab is extremely small, I am not sure where the medical students will have their class. No real preparation for step 1 of COMLEX/USMLE because there is not very much time dedicated in the curriculum for basic sciences.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The whacky curriculum. I think they want to move the students out of the school after a year because there is not really any room for them at the school.

What are your general comments?

The interview day started at 10am. There was about 20 interviewees. We all listened to a talk about the school from the different directors. We ate lunch with faculty, I think they all watch everyone at the lunch for ''character assessment'' which is creepy. Then we are split into groups and either taken on a tour/financial aid spiel, taken to a file review, or taken to an interview. The file review consists of one person looking at your entire file and critiquing it. The interview consists of two interviewers asking some good and some nutty questions. By the way there are right answers to the questions they are not just philosophy questions which is stupid since everyone will see the philysophical questions they ask differently. Then everyone does a group project with 4 other interviewees and that is about it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
