The prof. that interviewed me was wonderful--a pathologist and very interesting person. We ended up having a great conversation on a multitude of subjects... he had reviewed my application in great detail, and we discussed various items and topics of interest.

What impressed you negatively?

There was no overview presentation of the school, no discussion about aid, etc. The entire day was very brief, which can be good or bad.

Be prepared for LIRR delays...
