No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Way too much. Read all SDN questions. Practiced alot. U of Wash bioethics. Online research on health care systems.

What impressed you positively?

Standardized patients. They can simulate bruises, swelling, burns, heart abnormalities, bruits, all kinds of stuff...they're amazing. The students are very tight knit and supportive of each other.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much. Anatomy lab is a little old school...but, I kinda like that...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How awesome the students are there. Great hospitals too.

What are your general comments?

Not as scary as people said. My two interviewers were very very very nice. They still asked the ''hard questions'' but since you're reading this, you must know about them...just prepare. Also, volunteer to be the guinea pig for the standardized patient...I've heard it helps...but that's a rumor.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
