No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read website, re-read 2ndary, AMCAS, SDN.

What impressed you positively?

price (fer in-staters), facilities, (wi-fi everywhere!)happy students, very positive and nice faculty, varied and odd-ball students (lots of non-traditional students)

What impressed you negatively?

long island (then again, if you gotta go to the 'burbs for four years, might as well go to the pinnacle of them all). lack of stuff to do in stony brook, you DEFINITELY need a car.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

if you interview late, the next train back to the city is @ like 4. prepare to sit around a suburban LIRR station for an hour and half.

What are your general comments?

very positive. the LIRR trains don't match up too well w/later interview times...but, if you show up early, you can go see a lecture. afterwards came the tours,interviewed with an anatomy professor, who was SUPER nice. the tour guides seemed ok, if a bit cold at first. during the process, it came out that one of them is on the admissions committee. after that, candidates were clawing to get her attention. jeez. the interview went well; the anatopmy professor was extremely friendly, and the interview was relaxed and conversational, in no way confrontational.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
