No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read their website, SDN's interview feedback, common interview questions. Reviewed my application.

What impressed you positively?

The professors seemed really nice, and the PBL curriculum would be perfect for me.

What impressed you negatively?

The students seemed a little spacey; they don't have a teaching hospital; they're not accredited yet.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

It was decent overall. There were a couple of student life slideshows that were a waste of time -- they were basically a bunch of photos from orientation, with people doing 3-legged races and other ''team-building'' activities, and didn't tell me anything at all about the school. The tour was really short, because there are only two buildings (and a clinic in a trailer). My interview was definitely the most enjoyable part of the day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
