How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, school website.

What impressed you positively?

The location of the 1st/2nd year campus in a more suburban area of Philly. The facilities were really nice. I like the two curriculum track options, the problem/small group based vs. traditional lecture style.

What impressed you negatively?

There is a possibility of really getting bounced around during your 3rd and 4th year rotations.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How short the interview was going to be. Also, directions to interview room were not clear. Interviewer even remarked that everyone seemed to have trouble finding him.

What are your general comments?

Definitely a cool school. I really like that they had a Saturday interview option, great for not having to miss work. Also, if you interview on a Saturday everything is conducted at the school (no having to take shuttles downtown) and they move things along - we were all done by 1 pm.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
