10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Probably not enough - read some SDN feedback and reviewed my application

What impressed you positively?

Everyone treated us extremely well. The admissions staff were great, and the tour and interview were really relaxed and informative. No one seemed to be stuffy at all despite a pretty high ranking for the program.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Don't schedule your flight much sooner than two hours after the end of the interview! I got checked in one minute from not being able to get my boarding pass printed.

What are your general comments?

It seems like a great program that tries to remove competition and stress but still produces great Step 1 and 2 scores.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
