SDN, research school's website, review application materials.

What impressed you positively?

Strong focus on developing clinical skills.

What impressed you negatively?

Minimal research opportunities

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interviewers would be closed minded. They were looking for a specific answer to each of their questions and if you didn't have that answer they would write you off.

What are your general comments?

This is an excellent school for anyone that wants to practice primary care. Check the match list ahead of time. Very few people get placed in top residency programs.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Interviews would be better if they were in the morning. Interview questions should be impromptu.
