✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN! They know you have the questions from their list. Have good answers, but don't make it sound canned. They want sincerity.

What impressed you positively?

They really want their students to succeed. They value their students' reputation as working hard and getting into good residencies.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour is long and boring. The entire day was an interview for the waitlist. They really didn't sell themselves well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They don't provide breakfast, and the lunch is weak. Get there really early if you need to leave early, since you're assigned interviews first come, first serve. Don't stay at the Boulevard Inn! It's a total dive. My power cut out repeatedly, it wasn't clean, I think there was a prostitute next door, I'm surprised I didn't get bedbugs.
