SDN questions

This interview made me want to go to LLU even more and was very encouraging.

That this interview is genuinely very low-stress and the interviews are so kind and genuine.

The student interviewer I had was having some technical difficulties with his headphones and I wasn't able to hear him for a few minutes but he figured it out in the end.

both my interviewers were so kind and personable. I had a lot of fun talking with them and they were very curious and interested in me and my life. It was clear they read my application thoroughly and cared about the questions they asked.

That it’s relaxed and there is nothing to stress about.

Nothing.

Very relaxed interview and very kind interviewers.

Practice questions, school website, SDN

I had a faculty interviewer first and then a student interviewer. I wish it was the other way around because the student interviewer made me feel much more relaxed but both were very nice and genuinely interested in getting to know me. I also found it very interesting to get to know them as well. Definitely make use of the time you get to ask them questions!

If doing Zoom interviews, you can log in ahead of the start time and see your interviewer's name. I was able to Google them quickly in the ~5 minutes I was in the waiting room which helped calm my nerves a little.

Interviewers acknowledged that there is a range of staff and students who consider themselves Christian but do not live out their faiths. I appreciated their honesty but it reminded me that going to a Christian medical school will not automatically make me a great Christian physician. It still requires great personal commitment and conviction.

How thoroughly the interviewers had read my application beforehand. Especially for my first interviewer, everything he asked was asking me to expand on different parts of my application, so I was talking about things I was familiar with and passionate about. Both interviewers really just wanted to get to know me better as an individual and were very receptive to the questions I asked about them and Loma Linda.

Read through sdn interview feedback, toured the campus and learned as much as I could about Loma Linda, practiced my approach to questions like "Tell me about yourself" and "Why do you want to be a doctor" (both were asked), prayed and asked those around me to pray for me!
