No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my application, looked at the school's website.

What impressed you positively?

The anatomy lab and the campus.

What impressed you negatively?

The attitude of the students. My impression was that it was everyone's back-up school, and it was the only place they got accepted at. There was one exception (the tour guide), and she seemed to choose NY Med for primarily geographical reasons.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is a Catholic school. I wouldn't have applied or spent all that money to interview there had I known this beforehand. They should be more up front about this on their website. The president and CEO is a reverend, and the primary urban clerkship hospital is a Catholic institution.

What are your general comments?

Overall, the day was organized fairly well, although there was some down time while waiting to be interviewed. The campus is nice, but students didn't seem as excited to be there as those I have met at other schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
