How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN website; school website

What impressed you positively?

Anatomy labs (large windows)

What impressed you negatively?

1. Housing (very cramped for 700+ per month) 2. People are not friendly (I smiled at quite a few people to gauge the atmosphere and not one smiled in return - including my interviewer)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How to find Sunshine Cottage Road (the campus map is not that detailed)

What are your general comments?

The interviewer (PhD) was very pleasant and nice (difficult to read). I enjoyed the facilities (aside from the housing). The interview felt rushed as there were people waiting outside to interview. Interviewer mentioned something inappropriate/unprofessional.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Lessen waiting time for response to less than 10 weeks. A confirmation e-mail may have helped. Addit
