What impressed you positively?

The graduates get good placement for residencies, and the hospital is busy, good experience. Everyone was very helpful; the interviewers gave me contact information to contact them. Student live near by, walking distance.

What impressed you negatively?

Class time is all day long, I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t really like that, but I can deal with it. The tuition is high. DonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t have an undergrad campus association, so not the greatest athletic facilities, but there is a Y close by. The school doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t have the newest facilities, but they are more than adequate.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The day I scheduled the interview, the students had an exam. The students were not able to host, so didnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t get to talk to too many students.

What are your general comments?

I was not expecting much from Albany, but I was pleasantly surprised when I went to the interview. They have awesome students who are happy and the admissions committee is super supportive. Albany is a college town which is very very affordable to live in. The city is not the largest, but nice and with many college students. The tuition to the school is pretty high, but the cost of living makes up for it. I was not able to stay with students b/c they had a test, but they have that possible and it is a good thing to do. Also fair warning, the school asks many ethical questions as you can read from the rest of the interview feedbacks. Have your point of view and why you support that. I was very lucky in that my interviews were very relaxed, but other interviewees got pummeled. DonÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t need to worry too much just be firm in your views and decisions, they just want to see if you can handle the stress of ethical challenges by others, and that you have thought about the issues that are involved with medicine like abortion, euthanasia, unethical experiments, organ donations, and advance directives. They are big on ethics and it is kind of good, because you will come across these types of questions and problem when you are practicing medicine. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s better to be prepared, when angry patients question your motives and decisions. After the experience I was happy with the school, and would go if I got in. The school made a great impression on me.
