How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interview with a current med student. I also read lots of health care research and policy analysis at sites like heritage.org and cato.org, these sites are awesome!

What impressed you positively?

Pretty much everything. The building is new, has tons of windows and a beautiful view over the Salt Lake Valley. The students I met were all really nice and helpful. The faculty the interviewed me was super nice and fun to talk to.

What impressed you negatively?

Um... Well they did say that the cadavers were in a different building a little ways away so maybe that's not ideal.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really.

What are your general comments?

I really like this school. I will actually be going there this fall so I guess that speaks for itself. I loved it!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Eco-friendly? Honestly SDN...
