Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness and happiness of the students. A third year walked off the elevator, clearly on his way somewhere, and saw us in our interview clothes and stopped to offer any insights he could on the school. Albany is not a major city but it looked like a nice, safe place to live.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

There were long periods of waiting for interviewers that made the day a little frustrating. They provided a small lunch at 11:30-12 but we were interviewing until five and there was no other food offered.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The long waiting for interviews; I would have brought a book or something to keep busy.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I was really impressed with the program here. The opportunities for clinical experience were good and the students really seemed happy here. The cost of living is very low, and the students who gave the tour were very candid about their experiences here. A lot of people in my interview group were asked ethical questions, but I actually wasn't asked any. I was, however, asked a lot of cultural questions mostly centered around what kind of responsiblity the medical community has in addressing cultural issues in medicine. The school seems very patient oriented and I could easily see myself going here.
