How did you prepare for the interview?

Review my application. Read SDN interview feedback.

What impressed you positively?

The school seems to work with students to help them succeed. They are willing to give students second chances. The students involved with the admissions process were pleasant and open about their experiences.

What impressed you negatively?

Lectures are over-emphasized. Mandatory attendence. Tests every single week. One of the professors apparently knows everyone's name and publicly humiliates those who are even slightly late for class.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The non-scrubs portion of the dress code does not seem to be strictly enforced. Most people seem to wear scrubs all the time. Different colored scrubs indicate which program and year students are in. The optometry students seemed the nicest. The dental students seemed angry. The osteopathic students who were not involved with the interview process seemed unhappy.
