What was the most interesting question?

Nothing too interesting, which is good as far as I'm concerned. I was applying for the Early Assurance Program, and the MD that interviewed me wasn't familiar with it, so when he asked about it I found that interesting. Other than that is was just pretty typical questions.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website, upstate website, and reviewed my research and application. I didn't even get asked about my research, which was pretty nice.

What impressed you positively?

The staff and students there are awesome. New anatomy lab. I don't know what the student that posted on March 14th, 2004 was talking about, he/she said that upstates anatomy lab was run-down, and the school wasn't any good. He must have visited a different med school. I'm ashamed that I go to the same undergrad school as him. And I think Upstate is much better than Downstate, considered my visits to the campus' and the tendency of students to get excepted to downstate BUT NOT Upstate.

What are your general comments?

The interview overall was awesome. I found out about 4 weeks later that I was accepted!! NO MCAT's FOR ME!!! I'll take Upstate anyday over taking the MCAT's. Even if I took the MCAT's I'd probably go there. It's a great place to spend 4 years.
