I think you need to create or focus on how to create a vaccine, pill that can help heavy drug users/cig users. Allow people to enjoy the bad knowing something good will save them.

Nothing

I loved how relaxed and conversational the interviews were. Both interviewers showed a genuine interest in seeing me succeed.

Reviewing SDN interview feedback

Overall very welcoming environment. Made me excited to attend.

How little questions would be asked by each interviewer. I did more than was necessary when preparing.

The interview lasted the entire day which was nerve racking, but they wanted to add breaks for us so it’s understandable

How personable everyone was; genuinely felt like talking to people I knew

SDN; huge doc of interview questions on Reddit; mock interviews

Take a deep breath, relax, and don’t worry. It’s just a conversation!

How chill the interview was

Mock interviews, brainstorming and reflecting on past experiences working in healthcare

Concluding session was improvised and rushed. Everything else was aight though.

The faculty and student interviewers were super nice. Student interview was much more chillax than faculty interview.

SDN, mock interviews, advise sessions, practice answers.

the team exercise facilitator REALLY struggled with operating Zoom.

I felt the interviewers made a solid effort to help put me at ease and make me more comfortable during the interview.

a LOT of mock interviews, a LOT of brainstorming and writing down as many possible questions I could think of or came across in my research or encountered in my asynchronous interviews, brainstorming an appropriate example, making a bulleted list on what happened and what insights I wanted to highlight, and rehearsing answering and hitting those points

How relaxed it was going to be!

I think that the group session at the end was too short.
