SDN, read over my application and personal statement

What impressed you positively?

The hospitality of everyone at the school, they don't try to intimidate you, the anatomy lab and other facilities, the faculty really cares about the students, the area is beautiful

What impressed you negatively?

The area is so isolated and small.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there's no need to worry or stress. They are SO nice. It was really an easy day.

What are your general comments?

The interviewers are hard to read. It was hard to tell if they were interested in what I was saying. I heard other applicants says it's like a conversation in the interview, but it was not for me. I felt like they just asked me a few specific questions and that was it, so I was worried at first. It turned out well in the end though so don't be discouraged if you don't get a good vibe from them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

keep doing what you're doing
