SDN interview feedback

What impressed you positively?

How big and beautiful their campus was. Two new hospitals with one on the way. They also are pushing inter-professional learning, which I think is pretty cool.

What impressed you negatively?

That I was practically screamed at for not bringing a pen. The area I wouldn't say is "bad" but it is up and coming.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

BRING YOUR OWN PEN/PENCIL!! Make sure you study their curriculum for the essay section. You can bring all your stuff/luggage with you and they will keep it in their offices and you'll have access to it as long as someone is around.

What are your general comments?

Pros: great campus, one-year residency, accessible public transportation, and close to Denver. Cons: essay proctor was mean, they really try to scare you with the whole "bad" area thing, they threaten you about making it to school no matter what weather conditions are out there. I would say that the pros definitely outweigh the cons.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Do not yell at the applicants for not bringing their own writing utensil because it was stated in the e-mail. I looked through all my e-mails and it was never mentioned. Continue to providing lodging and housing information.
