SDN, reviewed UofA website, list of anticipated questions

What impressed you positively?

The school had a very 'small town' feel to it. Students were walking by us during the tour telling us good luck. Some students walked up and shook our hands. The student lounge was small but very cozy feeling. It felt like my living room.

What impressed you negatively?

I felt the orientation after the lunch and tour was a bit long(1 hour). I was having trouble focusing and really just wanted to get to the interview. They did provide us some valuable stats but I would like to have seen this limited to maybe 30 minutes tops.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

Some did not like that the school was an 'add-on' to the hospital but I thought the whole atmosphere was very close knit. The interview itself was very casual and more like a conversation between two equals. The tour was interesting although I would have liked to go in the gross anatomy lab. They even showed us the refrigerators where the students store their lunches that the bring to school with them. It really gave you a feel for what it might be like to be a student there.
