How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN Feedback...interviewer pretty much asked the exact questions that others previously listed

What impressed you positively?

The school and professors seem to go above and beyond to allow you to succeed

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities are not the most modern, and surrounding neighborhoods are sketchy

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you ask for a lunch voucher, they will give one to you. Ask to go to the anatomy lab if they don't take you there!

What are your general comments?

Some of the interviews are before the tour and some are after. I would try to get an interview before the tour so that you're not stressed and can actually absorb what's being shown to you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
