How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed pretty happy to be there. The clubs are apparently active and do a lot of stuff, including service work and Spanish training. The building is actually pretty nice once you get inside, and they've got lots of room to grow (they're only using about half of it).

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't realize their numbers were so low (26 MCAT, 3.3 sGPA). Their COMLEX pass rates were also below average (88-90%, IIRC). The whole one-building campus thing still kinda rubs me the wrong way.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Kosher lunches aren't so great. You spend your downtime while others are interviewing chatting with the student representative on the admissions committee, which is pretty cool.

What are your general comments?

If I wound up going here, I'd be okay with it. Better options out there, though, at least for me. Still, the interview gave me an excuse to hang out in Vegas for the weekend.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

They're a little off-balance while they're trying to replace their director, so things should smooth
