How did you prepare for the interview?

"SDN, prepared tons of answers for potential questions, read primary and secondary applications, researched their website." Report Response

"The closeknit atmosphere of the students and professors. Roger Corbman (the director), is by far the coolest guy and easily sells the school. The large amount of partnerships the school has with surrounding hospitals." Report Response

"The fact that everything is in one building in the middle of an industrial park - not a very school like atmosphere (although I was already aware of this)." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That the Las Vegas Airport is the craziest/busiest airport ever and if you don't want to miss your flight you better get there at least a few hours in advance, even on a Monday. Also, never trust an airport shuttle guy when he says he'll have you there in 10 minutes, its more like an hour. Lastly, that Nevada is 46th in the nation for physician to patient ratio and that they really want you to practice in Nevada after school." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The interview was pretty laid back, mostly conversation except for one of my interviews, who just seemed skeptical the whole time. They stress continually that biochem and anatomy are hard for most first years, and even though I've had them both and teach anatomy on cadavers to undergrads, my interviewer still seemed skeptical that I was prepared enough. Henderson has no seasons, except for hot and really hot. If you want a campus like feel, and have statistics of a longstanding institution, this is not the place. But everyone is great there and it would be an excellent education. They do contradict themselves in that they want you to pick the right school even if its not them, yet they only give you two weeks to decide and put down $2000 if you're offered a spot. Also, if you get put on the wait list and you don't have strong MCAT scores, then forget it - last year they ranked the wait list by MCAT scores." Report Response
