SDN, reviewed AMCAS, school's website

What impressed you positively?

Students seemed laid-back, approachable and well educated. Cost.

What impressed you negatively?

It feels like a state school. (facilities a bit old, etc)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Lots of downtime: my tour ended at 1:30 and I wasn't interviewed until about 3:30.

What are your general comments?

I wasn't expecting the three-on-one interview format to be as laid-back as it was. They weren't out to GET anybody... they just wanted to get to know their interviewees a little bit.
