✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the school, read the hand-outs they gave us, and looked at interview questions posted here (on SDN).

What impressed you positively?

PBL and the COMLEX stats

What impressed you negatively?

The faculty were nice, but not overly friendly. One student referred to the school as a jail.... and I can see that because there are cameras everywhere and there are strict campus rules. The school just doesn't seem like a warm place where I would want to study. Also, the school does not pay hospitals/preceptors for rotations, which can make good rotations more difficult to obtain.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. It was important for me to see the school and meet the faculty and students for myself.

What are your general comments?

Loved the PBL curriculum, but couldn't see myself wanting to spend time at the campus.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
