How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN interview review questions, read up on the health care system, pored over the website.
What impressed you positively?
It was during exam week, but the students were very friendly and relaxed. The international programs and social and community programs are very accessible. Research is on a choose-if-you-will basis. Local VA, Army, Air Force health care facilities are accessible. The Dean and Assistant Dean met with our group of interviewers and were very friendly and encouraging.
What impressed you negatively?
No good food on campus (that we saw). Residential location means affordable housing (very) but also not much vibrancy.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Don't ask all of your questions of people before you get to the interview. It is okay to pause in the interview, but make sure you sell an image of yourself that is what you want to portray.
What are your general comments?
I would be happy to go to this school. If there is one selling point, it is the sense of community cooperation and friendship. It appears to be a very caring place. Also, they advertised the fact that their residency placement scores tend to be very high.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Please indicate that breakfast foods will not be provided, or else provide a light continental break
