How did you prepare for the interview?

IUSD website, SDN interview feedback, but most importantly be yourself!

What impressed you positively?

The faculty, students and staff are very warm and inviting. IUSD really cares about your education and helping you be the best clinician possible.

What impressed you negatively?

The labs in the basement, but they really weren't that bad...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

My interview experience was exceptional. The school seems to fit my personality very well. I was impressed with Dr. Kasberg, the faculty members that interviewed me and the students I met. The best thing about IUSD that I've unfortunately not encountered at other schools is that they are real people. They don't try to impress your with latest gadgets or new lab facility, but instead they tell you what the strengths and weaknesses are of their school and let you decide for yourself. A lot of schools are very unprofessional--put down their competitor so that you may pick them instead of the "other" school. IUSD is classy and first-rate!
