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.

How did you prepare for the interview?

This site, NYU website.

What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of my interviewer for the school; the hospitals; the location; the school also seems to help students to find ways to cheaply enjoy NYC; the many school organizations.

What impressed you negatively?

Everything seems to be in one building (including the dorm). You almost don't have to go outside. The dorms are small too, but super cheap for that neighborhood.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

It was great. I drove in and was stuck in so much traffic on the FDR and then &quot;accidentally&quot; 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.
