How did you prepare for the interview?

Read all my application materials, NWU's website, SDN website, searched for info on current medical issues, mock interviews, my school's premed website.

What impressed you positively?

The way the curicullum is set up enables the students to pursue other interests and have a balanced life, the place is absolutely gorgeous, the staff and students i met were very nice and friendly, the clinical opportunities in an urban setting!!

What impressed you negatively?

nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They just want to get to know the applicants and don't really ask trick questions or anything like that, so i wish i would have spent more time practising being able to talk about myself for a good amount of time, without sounding stupid.

What are your general comments?

It was a great place and i loved everything i saw. The down side was that it was my first med school interview ever, so i was very nervous, and didn't get much sleep during the week leading up to the interview. Big mistake!! NWU is definitely my first choice, so i wish i would have done the interview a little later, so that i could have gained experience from previous interviews.
