✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, School's website, mock interviews, practiced questions, spoke with a bunch of current med students

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers asked in-depth questions and seemed genuinely interested in me, no intimidation tactics.

What impressed you negatively?

Unfortunately, one of the student-tour guides was laid back to the point of disrespectful. He was quite cocky and condescending, in a "you are not as cool as me" kind of way. Pretty annoying, we had to ask several times for him to take us on the tour, he said "its not important, I don't really want to go"

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I was going to be there for 6+ hours and would be REALLY tired by the end!

What are your general comments?

Great school, great facilities. The interviews really are very laid back and conversation-style. They want you to be yourself and just explain the various aspects of your file and how those aspects have prepared you to be a good doctor.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
