How did you prepare for the interview?

I re-read my MSSM secondary.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The Guggenheim Pavilion is beautiful, the students are very friendly and happy, the dorms are fairly inexpensive and seem livable. I was worried about the neighborhood since I know the school is on the border of East Harlem, but the students say that they feel safe and the area really didn't seem too bad.

Report Response | I was asked this too

Nothing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

When I applied to MSSM (and when I showed up for my interview), I knew virtually nothing about the school. I applied because it is a decent school and I would like to live in New York. I was very impressed by what I saw during my interview day, and Mount Sinai is now one of my top choices. The interviews were very relaxed and non-stressful, more like conversations than interviews.
