At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN!!! And reviewed my application.
What impressed you positively?
The mentorship opportunities and class unity. The hospital was HUGE and it seems like students are always welcome to come help with/watch/learn from cases. The lab was also awesome and the curriculum seemed very structured and organized.
What impressed you negatively?
Lack of diverse available programs (i.e. not many international opportunities unless you pursue/set up something yourself through another school or program).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Interview day is very short! It consists of your interview and an optional tour.
What are your general comments?
I expected my interviewers to be very relaxed and friendly based on what I read on SDN. One of my interviewers was awesome, but the other two were not as friendly as I had anticipated (I am not sure if this was intentional or not.... My interview was also at 8 AM). HOWEVER, do not let this intimidate you! It went very well and I was accepted :) They really just want to get to know YOU.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
The admissions staff was wonderful, but it would have been nice to have a more structured interview day like other schools.
