💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

The interviewer was blunt--he did not read through my application b/c he did not have the time. So he told me to talk about myself. He didn't pay attention as I talked because he was thumbing through my essays the whole time.
Why would you want to come out here? Why not stay in CA?
You should go into research. (more of a comment than a question)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through my application, AMCAS, and AMC viewbook.

What impressed you positively?

The staff in the admissions office was friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

This school gave me some bad vibes. The hospital looks like something off the cover of a horror book novel, and the students with whom I talked were NOT happy. Too many students complained about the 40K/year tutition. And Albany is perhaps the most dismal city I have ever visited. Furtermore, my faculty interviewers (I had 2) did not take the time to read my application. Overall, I regretted visiting this school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Albany is in the middle of nowhere and is an incredibly dismal city.
