How did you prepare for the interview?

School's website, SDN interview feedback- made a list of previous questions and practiced answering them, spoke with pre-med dean at my undergraduate college

What impressed you positively?

The school's facilities are very new and technology driven. The curriculum is designed for the modern doctor - everything is integrated and about becoming a well rounded doctor.

What impressed you negatively?

Cost, and I'm in-state! Location is more rural than I would prefer, but other than that this school is amazing!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The name of the person who would be interviewing me...I'd like to have prepared myself. Also, if you are in-state make sure to fill out the residency application BEFORE you go to your interview...did not know that beforehand.

What are your general comments?

The school and hospital are beautiful and physically attached. Students seem happy and relaxed and the environment is very collaborative. The curriculum is truly one of a kind and will give you much more clinical experience than other programs.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
