How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I wrote bullet points to questions I thought would be asked and thought through several ways to ad lib between them.

What impressed you positively?

Got free food.

What impressed you negatively?

There aren't very many food options aside from the main cafeteria, which is about the level of a nicer hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I perused SDN interview feedback and knew some friends who are matriculating there, so everything was pretty much as I had heard.

What are your general comments?

they only have your CV/resume and/or secondary application. They stress that the interview is conversational and really just want to see what kind of person you are. They decided your numbers were already good enough to gain their interest, so it purely is about how you are as a person and whether they think you would enjoy being here. Don't stress if you didn't get to talk about ethics, showcase your medical knowledge, or explain some setbacks. Relax, be enthusiastic, and show you're excited to be there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
