✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

U Wash Ethics site, about a half dozen books: $800 million dollar pill, health care mealtdown, the big fix, some others about universal health care and the right to die.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are actually really nice, better than I expected after reading SDN. Great hospitals. labs may be ''outdated'' but in no way insufficient.

What impressed you negatively?

The neighborhood around the school is charming, but much of the rest of Norfolk is not.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would be totally calm until the second I sat down for my interview. Tried to appear calm but was panicking on the inside.

What are your general comments?

Although my nerves were going unexpectedly crazy, my interviewers were extremely nice and unintimidating. They only asked one hard question about healthcare, and although my views were more liberal than my interviewers, I feel that we had a civil debate and that they respected my answers even if they did not agree.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
