How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

This site, reviewed my application, thought of possible interview questions/answers

What impressed you positively?

The people are really nice, the students seem happy and Kings County Hospital seems to be an amazing place to get your training. (The anatomy labs weren't bad as many on this site have said).

What impressed you negatively?

The neighborhood... not because it is "ghetto" (which I don't think it is) but just that there doesn't seem to be much in the area to do.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The directions from the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel say to take the Prospect Expressway, but that exit is closed until 11 AM. So, I was late to my interview, but they were really nice about it!
