SDN, School's Website, reviewed my AMCAS application

What impressed you positively?

The number of facilities and the location of the campus

What impressed you negatively?

Everything on the tour day was very unorganized. The interviewer was 45 min late, I was late for lunch and no one was directing us. When two other applicants and I finally found out where to eat lunch only vegetarian lunches were left and we had not place to sit so we just found an empty room. Also, no guides were around to assist in finding interview locations. My interview ended up being in the Children's hospital (far from the original meeting spot) in a psychiatrist's office. Overall it was a bad day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Where to go for the entire day.

What are your general comments?

Under negative impacts. It was a bad day and eveyone there seemed uninterests in personal interactions since there were 100+ interviewed applicants. Plus its way to expensive for out-of-state residents and they basically focused on Indiana residents.
