How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

kindness of the staff, emphasis on supportive student community

What impressed you negatively?

i had a student interview with another applicant and an MS1. i felt like she couldn't really answer my questions about the school since she literally just started there a month ago

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that i would have a lot of downtime between the interview day programming; that the faculty interview would only be 30 minutes; that it would be a group interview with the medical student

What are your general comments?

they had a curriculum q&a to answer questions about their curriculum as it is pretty different from other schools. even though there is a big independent learning component, the student i spoke with seemed to like it. the school seems really committed to serving the community and teaching its students about health advocacy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

have student interviewers that have been attending the school for longer than 1 month
