How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN interview feedback, visited the school website, consulted my personal psychic advisor. (kidding)

What impressed you positively?

The ability to do rotations at several hospitals throughout Philly, the admissions staff and dean were knowledgable and friendly. Philadelphia is great.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities seem small and isolated, the student that interviewed me seemed unhappy to be there, the student tour guide said some inappropriate things, which was disappointing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The students are segregated according to the style of learning they prefer, so even though the class is big, it probably seems smaller depending on which program you choose.

What are your general comments?

I absolutely loved Philadelphia, and I was impressed with the people I met while in the city, including an amazing 3rd yeard student that I just happened to meet in the city who took me out on the town the night after my interview. Maybe it was a bad day, but I did not find the students at the school itself to be especially friendly and/or happy, as other interviewees here had indicated. The student tour guide was condescending.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
