How did you prepare for the interview?

Went to Niagra Falls.

What impressed you positively?

The curriculum, pass/fail, some of the students and the cost of living in Rochester--$70,000 can get you a two bedroom house!!!!!!!

What impressed you negatively?

The city of Rochester--I tried exploring the town and found very little in the way of restaurants, non-corporate coffee shops, music stores, etc... The nightlife seem rather uninteresting as well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the students do very well on the match and that the school is particularly well-known for pediatric neurology. Weird, huh?

What are your general comments?

The school itself is very nice and seems like a great place to study medicine. The only problem is the Rochester factor, namely that it is a small/medium-sized city with very limited recreational opportunities.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
