How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN posts, wrote out possible questions and respected answers

What impressed you positively?

The low cost of tuition, living, other expenses. They don't want their students overwhelmingly in debt when they graduate.

What impressed you negatively?

Alphabetical assigned seating in the Lecture/Discussion Pathway (My last name starts with a Y, which means I would always be in the back row). They also want a $1500 deposit to reserve your seat within 30 days of acceptance.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview was changed to group interview (6 or 7 students and 2 faculty)

What are your general comments?

The facilities are nice and the faculty is really friendly. They want you to succeed. Their goal is to produce quality doctors for a reasonable price.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
