⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
No change 😐
What was the stress level of the interview?
3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
There was no presentation given from the admissions office. I didn't even get a pamphlet about the school. So really, I learned nothing about the school. The living situation is bad and there were no tours of any hospitals. The actual intervew was laid back and low stress.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
The applcant pool for med school is changing (more women and minorities), how will this changethe face of medicine?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN, about school
What was the most difficult question?
Since you applied to med school before and did not get in, why should we accept you this year?
What impressed you positively?
The hospitals are huge and impressive but you only get to see them if your interview is in one. There is a research requirement for med students, I thought that was unique.
What impressed you negatively?
Housing is horrible. Everyone lives on campus in what is basically a dorm. It is cheap, but I would never live in those dorms. You have to share them and it reminded me too much of freshman year of college.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Students live in dorms, the Bronx is bad.
