How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my AMCAS, secondary, looked at their website, SDN, interview feedback, etc.

What impressed you positively?

Everything! Great facilities, nice neighborhood, mature and sincere students. I also liked how everything is geographically close, like within a block (med school, hospital, Rockefeller, Sloan-Kettering, housing, etc)

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. Well, the dorms suck, but I will have family housing anyway.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They are doing construction next door which makes the whole day feel like you are in a war zone. Seriously, like bombs are being dropped.

What are your general comments?

I was so impressed with Cornell. All of the key features I am looking for in med school were there, as well as a great students and faculty community. Several other personal features clicked for me there, like the neighborhood, research interests, schools for little ones, etc.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
