How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, website

What impressed you positively?

How happy everyone was to be there. We walked into an M1 lecture and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. I also really like the computerized mannequins they have to learn on and their high board scores.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing except my second interviewer never showed up... she didn't even have me listed on her calendar. But, another doctor (who obviously hadn't read my application) squeezed me into his schedule and he was absolutely wonderful.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing... I am extremely grateful that I brought comfortable shoes to walk in for the tour though... I would have been in some major pain otherwise.

What are your general comments?

Really enjoyed the school. My tour guide was so excited to show us the school and it made it so much better. I really like the schedule and how the school wants the students to have lives outside of school. Very enjoyable experience.
