"It was a very laid back atmosphere with extremely friendly faculty, staff, and students. We began with a continental breakfast, then listened to the admissions director speak about the school. A 4th year student then spoke to us for about 40 mins. and answered some questions. We then received a short (and somewhat pointless) financial aid presentation. Then the interviews began. The interviews were very casual, but the interviewers were writing constantly (I think my first interviewer literally transcribed the session). It was more conversational but there were some definite questions thrown in. Since it was closed-file, they mostly wanted to know about my activities and experiences in high school and college, and what led me to medicine. It was very standard, nothing out of the ordinary. They did ask the infamous "red flags in your application" question but I felt prepared for it because of SDN. Overall a very nice (but long) day." Report Response
