Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Nothing the school and education in general are substandard. Several students told me that they were not very happy with the attitude of many of the professors nor were they happy with the location of the school.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I was told by a med student at Downstate that the teachers at downstate treat their students as inferiors. Professors apparently often jump down studentsÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ throats for asking questions. I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t understand why because the school sucks and is so run down. Their anatomy lab was one of the worst I have ever seen. Downstate apparently has one of the worst records on safety likely a result of the location and facilities. Most other SUNY schools provide better preparation for the USMLE and residency.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How bad a school downstate really was so that I wouldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t waste my time or money going to the interview

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I would choose any school over downstate with the lack of reputation and minimal training and down atmosphere that they provide with run down facilities and professors and administrators who think that they are g-ds gift to the world.
