How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at SDN although my questions were very different from anything else I saw.

What impressed you positively?

The students were all very enthusiastic and seemed to really love the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Two completely different campuses- school is outside of the city and the hospital is in the city. There is a shuttle that runs back and forth though. Also, not a big fan of Philly- the train system is so unreliable!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be an essay to be complete at the interview!
