SDN interview feedback

What impressed you positively?

The facilities - technology!!!

What impressed you negatively?

South of the campus is pretty ghetto, but not as ghetto as many people say.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known that it didn't matter how early you get there; it doesn't start until 8ish anyway. Oh, and that I would be able to see a cadaver.

What are your general comments?

Cali is beautiful. :)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I recommend that they have more interview days. We had over 70 interviewees on our day; it was overwhelming and difficult to become friends with everyone.
