How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Spoke with my student host, read over NYMC website, re-read my application

What impressed you positively?

My interviewer was great and had very similar interests in medicine to me. The new teaching facilities are great and the school seems to really prepare its students.

What impressed you negatively?

The students seemed stressed, competitive, and not particularly "well-rounded". I couldn't really see myself fitting in with them, which is a problem b/c the tough curriculum keeps you on-campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is NOTHING else in Valhalla, and it is more like an hour from the NYC and feels even farther. Bring only a copy of your personal statement (not entire AMCAS)

What are your general comments?

NYMC is a good school but the students did not impress me. They seemed like the annoying pre-meds not the passionate, interesting ones.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
