Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the admissions staff was very kind and informative, the students were nice and helpful, the facilities were impressive (especially the anatomy lab!), and the opportunities were incredible (high board scores and good third year)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

the westchester medical center is a little 'rundown,' but new buildings are under construction, and it is a level one trauma center

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the med school is so far from the westchester airport and that rents are so high in the area

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The interviewer was a couple minutes late, but more than made up for it by providing a few extra minutes at the end. She was very kind and truly wished to learn about me. She took notes during the interview and had trouble understanding me when I spoke quickly, but she was very easy to talk to and made the interview very comfortable, especially since this was my first. The campus is small and most buildings are the Westchester Medical Center, but the facilities are great and newly renovated. The student housing is very nice and not horribly expensive. The financial aid department is great and helps the students with advice and assistance. The students are happy and relatively stress free (non-competitive) and they do exceedingly well on the Boards.
