How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over AMCAS, SDN, handbook, website.

What impressed you positively?

the anatomy lab is beautiful (well, as beautiful as an anatomy lab can be). lecture halls are pretty nice.

What impressed you negatively?

the area is pretty desolate, though it is a quick drive from other parts of westchester and nyc, if you have a car.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the coffee there is supposed to be pretty good.

What are your general comments?

my interviewer seemed generally unimpressed with me, and was somewhat unenthusiastic about the school as well. he kept questioning my desire to pursue medicine, so i found myself repeatedly defending my decision. he also kept me for over an hour, making me late to the tour, but that wasn't a big deal.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
