How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer's response to my questions, he was very detailed & offered great advice. It was overall casual and felt welcoming.

What impressed you negatively?

A little awkward in the sequence of questioning.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing in particular, knew the questions but wish I had maybe practiced more to answer about a challenging course and how I overcame it. I essentially already answered the question briefly earlier in the interview then wasn't sure if I should use the same example.

What are your general comments?

Seems like a great school especially if you are interested in community health and research. I liked how they have research seminars in the first year so you are able to get a better sense if this is something for you or how to get involved exactly.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None. They were super friendly and made me feel more confident in the process.
