How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, primary, secondary, mock interview with a friend and some family, and reading up on healthcare and ethical issues.

What impressed you positively?

Very friendly staff and students, seems pretty low stress, and of course, a good and fun location.

What impressed you negatively?

There won't be many upperclassmen to share experiences(I'm interviewing for just the 2nd class), and practically all the buildings are still under construction and the majority won't be completed until &quot;10-20 years later.&quot;

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

There were 2 interviewers, one seems to ask ethical questions, while one seems to ask more &quot;normal&quot; questions like &quot;Why FIU.&quot;

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
