How did you prepare for the interview?

past interviews, website, sdn, took bubble bath, worked out, got drunk at Grumpy Dick's the night before

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are state of the art and immaculate. Students seemed to really have good relationships with professors.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour guide was a D1 and answered one of my questions incorrectly. I would have preferred to ask questions to D3 or D4 students who have been through the program longer and know more about the clinics. Also, the financial aid presentation was boring and automated.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

My overall experience was positive. They had a nice waiting room in the admissions office to lounge around and meet other interviewers (there was about 8 for the day). Lunch was good. The facilities are awesome. Interviews were conversation-like. Day started at 11:45. If you interview first you can be out by 2:30.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
