What are your general comments?
It was great. I drove in and was stuck in so much traffic on the FDR and then "accidentally" went over the 59th street bridge and was in Queens. I was 30 min late to my interview but they were so nice about it. My interviewer didn't care and he put me at ease right away and at the end told me he enjoyed our conversation and would write me a positive review.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
See above. Mostly me asking questions about NYU. Come prepared with questions!
What was the most interesting question?
I was only asked one question, "I read your file, but tell me in your own words why you have chosen to go into medicine." I then spent 10 minutes talking. The rest of the interview, the interviewer wanted me to ask him questions about NYU -- It was very conversational.
