What impressed you positively?

I was actually supposed to interview on Jan. 5th, but I got stuck in Chicago during a flight stop because of a blizzard. SUNY Upstate admissions were nice and flexible enough to offer me an interview the next day (Jan. 6th). I though it was extremely nice for them to get 2 interviewers and also get a student to give me quick tour around the campus, even though it was snowing like crazy. Everyone was extremely nice. One student interviewer and I ended up talking about fantasy football! Great guy

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, couldn't have been a better staff...even the medical students seemed upbeat. It's hard to find med students in such a great mood...this is definitely do to their laid back and community-oriented setting. great place
