How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, reviewed their website, read over AMCAS

What impressed you positively?

The Student Scholar Program. Students get to take a free fifth year (at any time during school) to pursue an additional degree or independent study. You could also design your own masters degree - one guy did a masters in Bioethics! I talked with the dean, and she said that I could definetly arrange to do a masters in International Medicine by taking some abroad rotations and taking some public health courses during that year. VERY cool!

What impressed you negatively?

That the medical school is relatively far from the clinical buildings. 1st and 2nd years don't really interact with the 3rd and 4th years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the tour would require a lot of walking - I would have brought flip-flops!

What are your general comments?

It was actually really nice; after the interview, there was a presentation by the dean and by the financial aid office. I came in with an "eh" feeling about the school, but left with a really good impression of it.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
