SDN

What impressed you positively?

the facilities are really nice, the students all seemed happy to be there, they have awesome guest lecturers, the neighborhood. the presentations by the different offices were really helpful. and their dorms are awesome

What impressed you negatively?

i wish the day hadn't been so structured and we had gotten to spend more time with the students than people from the admissions staff

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

not much, SDN prepared me pretty well. i didn't realize that they have a four year MD-MPH program

What are your general comments?

both interviews were really really relaxed. i wish they'd been longer. i learned as much about my interviewers as they did about me, it was really conversational. both made a real effort to tell me about the school as much as they could, they really sold it to me. they'd also read my file and knew it inside out

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
