I did a practice interview using questions I found on SDN.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students glowed when they talked about their physician mentors (all students shadow a doctor). The school is really hands-on with patient contact from 1st year.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

We didn't meet any faculty and the staff who talked to us were not enthused. Esp. the financial aid guy. I did not feel confident that I would be able to go to this school because I have no financial resources. Most schools tell you not to worry about money, they can make it happen, etc. This guy was basically telling us - worry about money - you might not be able to go here.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school is literally right on top of the metro line. I did not need to drive.

Report Response | I was asked this too
