How did you prepare for the interview?

Thought about answers to standard questions, made a list relating my positive qualities to activities that I do or instances where they showed, read SDN and the school's website.

What impressed you positively?

The friendly atmosphere of the entrie school and how alid-back and friendly the other interviewees were too. We had great conversations while waiting around for people to show up or for interviews.

What impressed you negatively?

Not really anything, I had a good experience

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How expensive tuition is for out of state residents.

What are your general comments?

I was a lot more impressed than I originally thought I would be. I lived in Columbus for a few years before so I was somewhat familiar with the area and more familiar with the city as a whole. There is a wealth of things to do in Columbus and the weather was beautiful that day which helped. This was my first interview so I was nervous, but everyone there was relaxed and friendly. I thought the interview didn't go too well, as the interviewer said at the end that he probably would have liked to see more medical experiences on my application (even though I have numerous instances of shadowing, volunteering and research) but I guess it went ok as I was accepted two weeks later.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
