How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed Primary/secondary, SDN

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was happy from security guards to students. Everyone wanted to tell you how happy they were there. They have excellent simulators as well as other facilities which will make learning both fun and interesting. I was also hugely impressed with the school's view on team work rather than competition.

What impressed you negatively?

Very Little. A class size of over 260 people may be slightly daunting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known about the $2000 deposit...I would have started saving earlier.

What are your general comments?

It could not have been better. The staff truly gave the feeling that they wanted to get to know me better. The interviewer knew my file but knew there was more to ME than what was on paper and she took the time to find out what would me a good physician.
