What was the most difficult question?

I didn't get any tough questions, it was pretty laid back, getting to know you stuff. A few ethics questions but not too difficult or involved, just stay up on current events.

What impressed you positively?

The school is small so students and faculty get a lot of close interaction. Everyone was very nice and neighborly, as expected from a small school.

What impressed you negatively?

39,000 a year tuition, the school is not technologically friendly (no wireless, the auditorium is a bit old), Albany is a small city without much to do, they have this program that you apply for out of local high schools that guarntees you entry into Albany if you meet a minimum GPA so if you attend Albany 30 out of 130 of your classmates will be these younger students who've always been med school tracked and very click-ish. It was so cold early in the year, they made me wait a while between interviews, the students and the school kind of gives you a lower-tier back-up school kind of a feel... No one really impressed me. I didn't walk away feeling that this is a school I would want to choose if accepted somewhere else.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It felt a bit rushed and impersonal. A brief discussion about admissions and financial aid, followed by lunch and a tour by students. They then make you wait until your interviewer shows up and interviews you. You then wait again (I had to wait a while) so that another interviewer can come get you and interview you. Wasn't too impressive and they didn't seem to want to sell themselves too much like other schools I've seen.
