the interview was pretty standard. we talked about our own respective families, talked about what brought me to medicine, etc. he typed a lot on his laptop, taking notes. the students there seemed to attend based on cost, but cost is no small issue when it comes to medical school. they seemed happy, and living in park slope is a nice benefit to attending the school.
