How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over information received in mail.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer practically memorized my application beforehand and had taken notes on stuff that interested him. The students seem to have a lot of say in terms of decisions made (curriculum changes, course offerings, etc.).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Albany, ridiculous cost of school, length of time spent in class, lack of organized clinical experiences in first and second years.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Amtrak was much cheaper than flying.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Very casual and laid-back. Children's "Hospital" is actually just one floor in the main hospital. Definitely a pleasant interviewing experience, but depends completely upon your interviewer. To get a good clinical experience during the 1st and 2nd years, the student must make the effort to contact physicians to shadow them.
