No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read a lot about the school, read some SDN feedback.

What impressed you positively?

Enthusiasm of students, staff, faculty.

What impressed you negatively?

Teaching facilities are behind the times. Even D.O. schools have better set ups for students in terms of labs, classrooms, simulators, technology.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This school thinks too highly of itself. They claim to want a diverse student population, but actually offer acceptances to one type of student.

What are your general comments?

Really enjoyed talking with both my interviewers. Thought they got to see the best I had to offer. They were honest with me, that if I didn't get in, (which I didn't) it would be b/c of MCAT scores. Which makes you wonder why they bothered inviting me to interview for 3 years in a row.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
