What are your general comments?
Because I interviewed at Beth Israel, I didn't feel like I got a very thorough experience with the school. I did enjoy being able to sit in on a firt year lecture for a little while, and I think the facilities are very nice. The people were approachable and friendly, the student housing is convenient. I do think I'd get frustrated being so close to the excitement of Manhattan but having it be so inconvenient to get there. A lot of students commented on it being a drag to have to go into the city sometimes. Oh, and my interviewer talked a lot about another school I interviewed at because he went there, and for a minute I felt like I was interviewing at that other school still, not AECOM!
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What did you think about the other schools you interviewed at?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN, previous interviews helped me know what was coming.
What impressed you positively?
The guy who interviewed me was this young oncology surgeon who seemed very normal and down-to-earth. I really enjoyed chatting with him.
What impressed you negatively?
It takes 20 mintes by bus to get to the subway station, then another 30 or so in the train to get to midtown where I stayed. I felt like I was so close to the action, yet so far.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I interviewed at Beth Israel because I thought all interviews were in the morning and it was closer to where I was staying. I should've just interviewed at the school and requested a later interview, as I would've saved travel time.
