How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading SDN interview feedback about specific questions they were going to ask

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was so nice!! Also, my first interviewer knew my application like the back of her hand so it made the conversation very natural

What impressed you negatively?

My second interviewer didn't know anything about my application and paused in the middle of the interview to read about me. Though our conversation was really great (since he really just wanted to get to know me as a person) I felt that it was odd for him to do that

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You NEED to have a list of questions to ask your interviewers, the Dean, and the medical students. This interview is mostly the interviewees asking questions, so make sure you're prepared to do so

What are your general comments?

Do not stress out about this interview, they just want to get to know you as a person and just be the best version of yourself!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
