What impressed you positively?

The people there were very nice and accommodating. My first interviewer was really sweet.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

My first interviewer gave me the impression that he wasnt very impressed by the school. He told me that the only good things about it were that they cover a wide range of patients (Central New York, sometimes ppl even come from philly) and that there is low competition. He said the students tend to be passive. My second interviewer was a little uptight.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

In order to get to our interview locations, most of us had to walk through the hospital connected to the admissions building. The hospital is a maze! I also had to walk across a lot of streets to get to one of my interview locations. It's not really that bad, but I didn't expect it.
