Very friendly and conversational interview, and faculty seemed to be familiar with my application. One of my interviewers specifically recalled something that I mentioned in my personal statement.

SDN interview feedback

Reported experiences · 2 to 5 years ago

Incredibly welcoming + kind faculty. They made sure all the applicants felt valued, heard, and respected. After talking with the faculty and students, I seriously bumped up this school high on my "dream school" list. Side note: i LOVE that this school is exclusively teaching faculty. While their "ranking" falls short due to lack of research funding, I think the emphasis on teaching and student wellness is more important to my future education.

Preparation notes · 5 to 10 years ago

how chill it would be. seriously, don't waste your time worrying. they just want to have a normal conversation as if they just met you on the street. they guy that interviewed me literally cussed a couple times lol (he was older and a retired MD)

how far you have to drive to clinical sites. but that doesn't bother me TOO much. my main concern is how young the school is

Reported experiences · 5 to 10 years ago

the community aspect - everyone genuinely cares about each other and you. they are truly invested in each and every student

Preparation notes · 5 to 10 years ago

The interview process can be stressful, but try your best to relax and enjoy this one. The team at Netter is friendly, warm, and welcoming. For my interview, my fellow interviewees and I waited in the lobby for the other interviewees to arrive. Once everyone arrived, we were escorted into a modern conference room where we were given a folder with information and our own notebooks. There was a financial aid presentation, a presentation about student affairs, lunch with students (we got Panera, hands down the best interview lunch I had), and then the interviews began. After the one-on-one interview, Dr. Yeckel came in to speak with us as a group. We all were nervous as we wanted to make a good impression, but within minutes we were all laughing and having a good time. Then we toured the facilities with students. The anatomy lab is stunning. It has tons of beautiful, natural light streaming in the windows. We were brought back to the conference room to gather our belongings and were given an estimate of when we would hear back regarding decisions. TLDR: This is an awesome place, enjoy your interview

I wish I knew that I could just relax and enjoy the day. I wish I could do my interview all over again.

I love this school and am really biased so I don't have any negative impression. But, I have heard other people say that a negative is that there is a degree of commuting with this school. I see it as a positive, because some of the commuting is to MeSH sites. The MeSH program places students in a doctor's office to get real-world experience with patients. Other commuting is to rotation sites since Netter does not have a dedicated teaching hospital Again, I see this as a positive because Netter students have said this has allowed them the opportunity to work at an intern level as a medical student because they aren't competing with PGs for patient experiences and access.
