How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my application. Read about their program on the website. Read this website.

What impressed you positively?

The students. They seemed really laid back and quite a few showed up. I liked that they were enthusiastic. Also that they can rotate through hospitals all over the city.

What impressed you negatively?

Shared kitchens in the first year dorms. That's a bummer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you really do get to see all of new york as a student there, not just the neighborhood surrounding the hospital.

What are your general comments?

I stayed over with a student host in the dorms, I really didn't have any trouble arranging that. Cathy was very helpful in setting it up. Also I wonder why anyone should feel guilty about choosing a program in New York - it seems to offer a wide variety of experiences for training. Seems like a good reason to choose a place. It does seem like other city schools do a good job of rotating through commmunity and borough hospitals as well. Cornell seems a little easier since classes are over in the early afternoon for the first two years. Anyway, good luck everyone!
