How did you prepare for the interview?

went over SDN interview feedback questions that seem to appear often

What impressed you positively?

The DS is self-contained, nice new clinics, staff was friendly and helpful, as were the interviewers, early clinical exposure, late boards.

What impressed you negatively?

Old-ish sim lab, everyone says it and it's true: no windows!, the building doesn't make you want to spend four years in it...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Pantyhose would make my feet slip out of my shoes...had to make a mad dash to walgreens an hour before the interview!

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview/tour so I think I will have a more accurate opinion of the school once I see other schools and can compare.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
