How did you prepare for the interview?
Read the website.
What impressed you positively?
The housing is pretty decent. I stayed with a MD/PhD student, so he had a studio all to himself. Also, the hospitals are pretty nice.
What impressed you negatively?
The Bronx is...well, the Bronx. The school is not very diverse either. Though it's understandable that the student body and perhaps the faculty is mostly Jewish, I was able to eat lunch at the cafeteria and noticed that people of other backgrounds seemed to be isolated. Lastly, the interviewer made me stand outside of her office while she reviewed my file. It was kind of rude.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I didn't know that there were so many people from Ivies at Einstein. Also, research activity at the school is much higher than I thought it was.
What are your general comments?
Einstein is a great school, and I'd be happy to go there. The student body isn't very diverse, but I can live with that. I think that they also give out merit scholarships, which is always a hopeful plus!
