What are your general comments?
Wow! You can actually smell the chocolate in the air. I also saw the landing of "Life Lion" helicopter that transports patients to the hospital. Presentation by Marc Lubbers was great. Surrounding environment is relaxing and calm, at least until tourist season starts again as the Hershey attractions are right nearby. Chocolate World is a great place to stop by if you have morning interviews. Tour of the hospital and library was given by a hospital volunteer. Students accompanied our lunch at the hospital cafeteria.

SDN, AMCAS app info, Website.
What impressed you positively?
Students were relaxed about school, presentation was relevant and interesting, school tries to distinguish itself curriculum-wise, interviewees are escorted.
What impressed you negatively?
Interviews were somewhat short (~35 min) as I hardly had the chance to ask 1 or 2 questions about the school before getting whisked away to my next destination.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Both interviewers asked nothing about my research, which I felt was an important part of my application.
