No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

NYMC website, sample interview questions from Barron's, mock interviews, previous interview, SD

What impressed you positively?

anatomy lab, excellent variety of clinical experiences, student housing (better than the dorms I lived in!), orientation (although students giving the tour repeated a lot of what we had already been told), there's sushi in the cafeteria

What impressed you negatively?

I missed half of the financial aid presentation because it started late and I had to go to my interview. I wasn't impressed by the lecture I sat in on.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

NYMC interviews about 1400 applicants! The entering class is bigger than most (190) but this still seems like a lot.

What are your general comments?

My interviewer did not seem interested in what I was saying. Not once was I asked to elaborate on anything I said. I had given her a copy of my AMCAS essay (as requested) after meeting her and she said she would read it later. I think that she would have gotten to know me better by reading it first, allowing me more time to elaborate on things she had read. I was not asked about current issues in health care, a topic I think is essential for a med school interview. I would have liked to have two interviews, because I don't like the idea of this interviewer presenting me to the committee.
