How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, my other interview

What impressed you positively?

They said their students are well known, strong in clinical skills

What impressed you negatively?

They didn't seem very proud of their school, also they start school during the summer- around July I think

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school in is Indianapolis but the campus is off on its own, you'd definitely need a car to get to the city, I didn't get to see any of it

What are your general comments?

We started in an office, the Dean comes in to give a pep-talk and is very nice, but tells us to go in state if we get in because it's less expensive, then the financial aid director came in, then we went on a short tour, and the interview was about 30 minutes, with a faculty member, 4th year, and a admissions staff person, I got a chance to asked a lot of questions, it was easy going, but very short- maybe 2 hours at most

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
