How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, talking to students there

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are gorgeous, and the anatomy lab software is mindblowingly cool. Also, the students and admissions staff are over-the-top friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

There are no athletic facilities (yet) and Aurora (the area around the school) isn't the nicest. Also, financial aid is sub-par.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Out-of-state tuition is painfully high, with no way to become a resident.

What are your general comments?

It's a gorgeous school with great people and lots of cool stuff going on, and Denver is great, but it's pricey for OOS students.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I wish there were a way to keep everyone hydrated without all the bottled water.
