About my internship and other health-related experiences.

SDN, CU's website, reading my essays

What impressed you positively?

campus is brand new, and they've put in some great technology. The people were a lot more friendly than I was told they were by other applicants. CU has solid rankings for both care and research.

What impressed you negatively?

Aurora is in the middle of nowhere, the students have trouble finding housing. They didn't build a gym on the campus or much in the way of student life amenities.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews are half open-file - they have access to your essays and activities list, but not your scores or grades. It's actually a pretty good way to do it - they know what kind of questions to ask you without judging you about your GPA.
