How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed my AMCAS and secondary essays

What impressed you positively?

The curriculum! Clinical experience and doctoring training from day 1. Capstone week validates just-learned material from previous block.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are still being created, so right now things are on the basic and small side (but seems to be more than sufficient!)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I had a fabulous experience. Very committed and personal school- felt like they care about creating wonderful doctors. If you are into a huge well-known research school this is not for you, but if you are want to personally know your teachers as mentors- this is a GREAT school!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I wouldn't have them change anything- they did everything possible to make me feel welcome!
