How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of the staff and the casual nature of the interview.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The interview was rushed due to the fact that the interviewer had 2 students to talk to. Thought this was an easily fixable solution because other students returned to the waiting area before I was called in, so I could have been interviewed earlier by one of those admissions staff members, as opposed to waiting for mine. The interviewer also only let me ask one question.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I would have to hit multiple topics in each question since my time was short and she asked fewer questions than expected. She also had to cut my answers short to keep the interview moving so I felt things were half-answered.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Despite its lower NBEO, Salus has many successful alumni which ultimately made me apply. They also have really strong, diverse clinical experience. I just wish I had more time with my interviewer

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Schedule more time for interviews and try to limit one student per admissions staff member.
