How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview question review; basically, found the most difficult questions I could be asked and ensured I had good answers.

What impressed you positively?

The school is the only medical school in the Twin Cities. This means that they have the monopoly on some of the best hospitals in the nation.

What impressed you negatively?

Overall, the day was short. Granted, I didn't want to be there all day, but I feel that they didn't "sell" the school like some of the other medical schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The whole day is relatively short compared to other interviews. We were done at 1:30 (after lunch).

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
