How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN thankfully

What impressed you positively?

Definitely not as isolated as I was expecting based on various SDN posts -- there's tons of places to live nearby, and within 10 minute drive are so many places to eat, shop, go to the movies etc.

What impressed you negatively?

Finding out that rotations might send us to Indiana, Michigan, Florida etc.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Really good day. Sat in conference room for awhile with various speakers. Were given article to read and remember. Got called out individually for interviews -- had read on SDN that the interview is like talking to two stones, but completely not the case -- more speakers. Lunch in the cafe was awkward because everyone knows you are interviewing and gawks/giggles/whispers etc. Two students sat with us and answered questions then took us on tour of building. End of a good day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
