How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over student responses on SDN and asked a friend who goes there for advice.

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed to like the school and were very friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The area and my interviewer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To not take my interview so lightly because everyone kept on telling me that the interview for this school was easy...

What are your general comments?

The interviewer seemed fairly friendly at first but then once we sat down...she really drilled me...asking me a lot of healthcare and science related issues and what type of research I exactly had done. And when she asked me if I had any questions she only let me ask her one question and she continued drilling me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
