How did you prepare for the interview?

checked SDN interview feedback, wrote down some responses to commonly asked questions, rehearsed them in my head on the flight over to the school and did some practice interviewing with a friend.

What impressed you positively?

The clinics are beautiful and the school is brand-spanking new. I liked that they offer practice management courses and that as a 3rd and 4th year you don't have to compete for chairs or patients. Also, their student clinic is set up in a group practice environment.

What impressed you negatively?

The price tag! This school is expensive. Also, the climate in FL is not the best. When I was there, it was extremely muggy and humid.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Bring a bottle of water with you into the interview! It's ok! You'll need it because you'll be stressing and your throat will get dry. Also, eat a large breakfast. They do not provide you with breakfast and the lunch is very small.

What are your general comments?

Don't stress too much about the interview. There are no curve ball questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Have coffee and/or tea for interviewees when they arrive.
