What impressed you positively?

Students seemed earnestly happy at this school. The environment was very laid back and the interviews seemed to be geared towards really getting to know me, rather than intimidating me or asking me to defend my life.

The interviews were a little short and I felt like they ended rather abruptly.

What are your general comments?

Overall, a very positive experience. It really solidified all the feelings I had about Mount Sinai to begin with. I really liked the fact that people seemed happy here and were willing to volunteer their time to talk about their experiences. I felt more like a person than an applicant, for a change.
