What impressed you positively?

I had very little expectation for this school, but by the end of the day I was really impressed with it. The facilities are really nice, and the students that I met seemed really comfortable and happy where they were. I was initially turned off by the idea of dorms, but the students seem to see it as a great way to develop a community, and it seems like it helps people concentrate to have everyone around them doing the same thing. The other thing I was nervous about was I thought that maybe the opportunities to do your rotations in Manhattan were limited, but all of the staff and students said that if you want to, you can. I enjoyed how the day was very self-organized. I was able to sit in on a lecture, and I felt like I could roam around the school and get the informal sense of what it would be like to go there.

What impressed you negatively?

Really nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known how nice it is. I think alot of the things I have read have given me a negative impression about he students and the facility, but I really liked it, and I wish I had given it more consideration in the first place.

What are your general comments?

My interview was rescheduled, so I ended up interviewing with admissions faculty who I had met earlier in the morning, which made it very relaxed. We talked about my family, my medical experiences, and my research. She was really great, and it was very comfortable and conversational.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
