How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn

What impressed you positively?

Everything is brand new, top notch. The pre-clinical sim lab is really nice. The dean also knows each student by name.

What impressed you negatively?

The clinic isn't finished yet so you have to base your decision on faith that the clinic will be successful.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is a lot of downtime, but it's pretty cool to talk to the other applicants from all across the country and find out about them.

What are your general comments?

Try not to rent a car if possible. Taxes out of Sky Harbor for renting a car is literally 38%. A "$37/day" two day rental was over $120. Some of the hotels have a shuttle. Stay there and don't bother renting a car...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Get rid of the video for the fin aid session and just have someone give a powerpoint presentation sp
