How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Played video games. Seriously, I did nothing.

What impressed you positively?

Everything. I was not expecting to come away as excited about Albany as I did. The students and fellow interviewees seemed so nice and happy. That speaks volumes for a school. The facilities were really great and I really appreciate the strong emphasis the school puts on humanities in medicine and ethical eduction during the curriculum.

What impressed you negatively?

The tuition. $40,000 a year. Ugh.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How to get to the admissions office. Even the website directions aren't the clearest in the world. Leave some time to figure it out.

What are your general comments?

My best experience yet. I had two interviews, both which were very comfortable and conducive. I will say that one of my fellow interviewees looked somewhat traumatized by his first interview in which for every question the interviewer asked him, he was made to ask the interviewer a question back. Its luck of the draw, I guess.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
