How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's website, SDN.

What impressed you positively?

That the admissions people were prepared to discuss the school's negatives as well as its positives. That the students seemed happy and even said that med school was more fun than college.

What impressed you negatively?

That the day seemed impersonal. I did not like that the final two years occurred at various places around the state, some rural, etc. The day was way too long, and started way too early. We had a waste-of-time tour during which we were shown the old facilities -- we will use the new building next year. Also, I felt like I was wasting some of the interviewer's valuable time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
