How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interview at a career center, reading over secondary

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were beautiful and the students were super nice. I was amazed at how friendly everyone was

What impressed you negatively?

A large portion of the day was PR (administrators coming and telling me why the school is amazing)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The third year clinical rotations are all throughout the state of Wisconsin (mandatory to go away from Madison)

What are your general comments?

The entire day was very laid back. The faculty interview was pretty stress-free except that my interviewer was a little sly and asked me follow up questions that were supposed to throw me off a little. As a whole, he was nice, though, and tried to really understand where I came from and where I was going.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
