How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback!

What impressed you positively?

The entire tour: The classroom with all the pods, the gym, the appearance of the school.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that the clinic is 2-3 miles away from the academic building kind of sucks.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it was going to be so relaxed. I expected to be asked why I got this grade in that class, etc during my exit interview, but it didn't happen.

What are your general comments?

This school looks amazing and the clinic seems like a wonderful place to gain experience in all types of specialties. Everyone I encountered during my interview day, including some students, was very very friendly. They all love being there. The school is not in the center of a busy city, nor is it in the middle of nowhere (a plus for someone like me). There is free and ample parking for all students!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
