10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Prayed, prepared answers to questions on SDN, reviewed primary and secondary applications, reviewed school website

What impressed you positively?

The students and faculty had such a great attitude about their school and the program. We were about to view a cadaver during the tour! The interviewers came and got us rather than us going off to different buildings to meet them

What impressed you negatively?

The tour ran kind of long.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there was actually 2 separate interviews with two separate interviewers. And some 4th year students are on the admissions committee.

What are your general comments?

Relax. It is a conversational interview and they ask questions based on what is on your file and based on the responses for previous questions. There is a list of questions that they could use but they mostly just ask about you and your experiences. Review your application because they have and they will jump in by bringing up something from your activities list

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

They are very nice people who are very resourceful and helpful.
