How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reread my personal statement and other essays I've written as secondaries, practiced answering interview-style questions, asked my current boss to play out a mock interview with me and for feedback regarding my actual interview for that job, did research on NYU Med

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer was very relaxed and friendly. He was trying to get to know me rather than intimidate and challenge me. The students loved the school. They were very enthusiastic about their classes and social interaction.

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

My interviewer was one of the doctors in the medical school. He went to my high school and began our conversation by discussing some of the teachers there and the neighborhood...since he grew up several blocks from where I live. The conversation flowed naturally from there and I hardly realized that almost an hour had passed. After the interview, we had lunch with several medical students. Lunch was followed by a tour of the NYU and Bellevue Hospital facilities.
