How did you prepare for the interview?

mock interviews, SDN, reading the school's website, reading over my secondary and AMCAS, reading into current healthcare issues and political issues, getting advice from coworkers/patients/doctors/family/friends, practicing at home.

What impressed you positively?

the tour guide was really great. The campus is beautiful. The technology is top-notch. The school really listens to feedback of students. You can take tests wherever you want because of the strong honor code!

What impressed you negatively?

how one of the interviewers tried to rush through his list of questions then kick me out.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how NOT big of a deal it really is. The interviewers are very friendly.

What are your general comments?

despite the fact that they are dead last in terms of state funding in the nation, they are basically the most amazing school I have ever seen. The people (students and faculty) are amazing!
