Read SDN interview feedback, read past year's threads for the school, looked over the school website, read articles on AVMA.

Dean Brace and the faculty really, REALLY want students to succeed, and will make themselves available to you at all hours if you need help. The school seems like a big family. Very friendly people.
What impressed you negatively?
The first years doing my tour were a bit unprofessional and silly.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I had known what questions I would be asked so that I could prepare more articulate, less panicked answers, but that isn't possible.
