✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read SDN, mock interview, researched ethics issues (wasn't asked a single question about ethics, or given any hypotheticals)

What impressed you positively?

school is a very tight community, with a strong focus on community service. Camden is a great area to see interesting cases. Close to Philadelphia, most students actually live there.

What impressed you negatively?

Since it is not on the main campus, it is far away from administration and students have felt neglected in the past. Also, Camden is scary at night!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I interviewed in Camden, where they don't give a presentation or let you meet other students. I was done by 10 AM, but I prepared for the whole day.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview seemed nice. The hospital isn't state-of-the-art but they are building new additions. The interviewer was very pleasant and it was more of a conversation than a Q&amp;A session.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
