No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this website, reviewed personal application, printed off stuff from NYMC website.

What impressed you positively?

Nice anatomy lab, of course. Good presentation covering admissions process, financial aid, etc.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is selling one of their major student housing facilities in Manhattan. While the fourth year speaker and financial aid officer said that the money will go to improving education, I doubt the results of the investment will be as readily felt as the loss of housing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

A well organized, informative day, though I got conflicting accounts of how students are placed in clinical year clerkships. I would have liked some uniform guarantee that I can spend the entirety of my clinical education in the city.
