I reviewed my primary and secondary application and thought about how I would answer common interview questions. I used this interview feedback page and the general SDN forum as well.
What was the most difficult question?
I didn't find any question particularly difficult.
Students play a huge role in shaping the school, and there is a lot of potential for this school to grow and develop its presence in the coming years.
What impressed you negatively?
The school is rather small and feels kinda far away from everything. Also, no easily accessible research or clinical opportunities (the closest clinical rotation site is a 20-30 minute drive away).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I think SDN prepared me pretty well!
