READ THE QUESTIONS POSTED IN THE INTERVIEW FEEDBACK ON THIS SITE!!

What impressed you positively?

admissions staff was really nice. students were very enthusiastic. many students were available to us and we spent the day in the student lounge where we could interact with tons of students.

What impressed you negatively?

seemed like the students were enthusiastic because they were at A med school and not because of this school specifically. It basically seemed like the students there had no other choice but to go to Buffalo. The facilities were dingy and run down. The city is basically a sh*thole. Anatomy lab was very poorly lit and felt like a dungeon.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

you have to write a mini essay before the interview! interviewers basically stick to the script. i didn't think the interview questions would be THAT scripted but they are. Come up with an answer to every single question on SDN.
