How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

Advanced facilities, the fact that they are doing their best to utilize modern technology to facilitate student's learning (media-site/recorded lectures), their commitment to serving the community (special clinics, perryville clinic)

What impressed you negatively?

Interviewers seemed uninterested and students didn't seem too enthusiastic- maybe they were stressed that day.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You walk a lot and climb up and down the stairs a lot, so don't wear heels. I thought my heels were comfortable enough to wear, but they weren't

What are your general comments?

Interviewers should be more welcoming, smile, and seem more interested in the interviewee so that the interviewee can be comfortable and open up to show who they really are. Other than that, facilities are amazing, baltimore is an exciting city with so much diversity, and I loved that the school is so dedicated in education, service, and research.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Presentations were great. Very informative and helpful.
