How did you prepare for the interview?

looked over SDN for questions

What impressed you positively?

the clinical experience is great, and the offsite clinic was impressive..

What impressed you negatively?

I did not feel like I was in a school setting (because it is basically a mansion)..

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

cabs are expensive (and they are crazy drivers!) you can take the T-line pretty much everywhere..

What are your general comments?

It was a really long day, and an unnecessarily long tour at the off campus clinic... overall, the interviews themselves were pretty laid back, some interesting questions.. the interview with the student was repetitive of the interview with the doctor

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
