UW's ethics website, AECOM's website, reading personal statement.

What impressed you positively?

Strong clinical education and pediatrics department. Also, affordable housing was a plus.

Driving through the Bronx was somewhat depressing. Library also closes on Saturday, so most students study at Fordham University's library, about 10 min. away.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How strict the Kosher laws were, or at least those regarding food). For example, you cannot eat cheeseburgers anywhere on campus (except perhaps in your apartment, which itself isn't proper).

What are your general comments?

I loved my interview experience. My interviewer was a pediatric geneticist, who really seemed interested in my background and in me as a person. I was also able to ask several questions of my own, which he graciously answered.
