How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview info. Books. Most importantly: read, read, and re-read PS and 2ndry essays responses!

What impressed you positively?

Random unsolicited students from 1st, 2nd, and 4th year came up and pitched the school before the formal day began. Something like a dozen or so students!

What impressed you negatively?

Not much. I think the tour was rushed, but I will cut them slack since this was the first interview day of the whole season.

I think I would have scheduled more time on my own to explore the hospital and campus before or after the interview.

Very impressive and positive group of students and faculty. Very impressive.
