💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What single accomplishment are you most proud of?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interview at school (read the feedback!), and skimmed SDN for possible interview questions
What impressed you positively?
The overwhelming friendliness of everyone I met - from admissions, to students, to random staff/students we ran into on the tour; also, they have programs to compensate for the fact that there are 180 students per class, making the school much more personable than even some 80-student classes
What impressed you negatively?
The location is sketch, making it hard to commute in any form except via car (I was told to not even ride my bike at night unless I was with a group).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
We didn't get to tour LA County Hospital - they show us the outside of a new research building instead
