How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback questions, did a mock interview with my school's career services, and practiced questions with a friend who is also preparing for interviews.

What impressed you positively?

Years 3 and 4, great rotation sites and associated residencies. Also I love the OPP fellowship and scholarship associated with it.

What impressed you negatively?

There are so many other health profession students there it was a little hectic.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I felt prepared. Don't feel like there was anything I didn't know.

What are your general comments?

Seems like a great school. Enjoyed being there. Tour was boring (here's a classroom, and here's another, and here's another, oh and here's another!) but had a great time in the sim-lab.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Skype interviews so we don't have to spend $400 on airfare for a 15 minute interview...
