How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN interview feedback, Talked to other students about Weill, Discussion board on SDN, read my application again, just relax and be myself

What impressed you positively?

Everything. The school is in a remarkable area. The hospital is gorgeous, the curriculum is second to none, and the students are very involved. The match list is pretty solid. I was felt especially welcomed by their openness to non trad students, married students and commitment to diversity. Interviewers were very friendly. Cathy (the interview coordinator) really makes you feel at ease once you arrive at Weill--good conversationalist while I waited for interviews... Financial aid is pretty solid too. The PBL rooms are like a four sided whiteboard box (on the inside) with a floor and overhead lights. There are four large screen Macs in there as well with internet access.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much--maybe lack of merit based scholarships??

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. I think I researched the school pretty thoroughly. Everything is MAC there too ... so you better have love for apple.

What are your general comments?

Awesome place. Definitely one of my top choices for med school, if I am lucky enough to get in.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
