SDN, prepared list of questions likely to be asked. No prep really helped. Interview was extremely conversational and they genuinely wanted to see if the school was a match for me and vice versa.

The schools mission is exactly what they preach. The vision to change medicine is appealing. Strong research emphasis. Students praise of the staff and curriculum style.

Nothing. The staff is extremely welcoming and happy you are there. Everyone there makes the day very stress free and enjoyable.
