SDN

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The beautiful area of Back Bay, and their concept of dispersing their students throughout the city rather than waiting for patients to go to their clinic.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

How expensive it is to live there.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There are two sets of interviews: one with admissions faculty member, one with a student. Both are closed file, although the admissions member already read through your file before meeting you.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

They seem very interested in developing a relationship with their students. The education itself appears to be clinically superior to other schools, in part due to its availability of numerous clinical locations throughout Boston and by their eye clinic van.
