How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I re-read my MSSM secondary.

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.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

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.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
