Mock, Ethics, AMCAS file

What impressed you positively?

The staff was very friendly and the students were down-to-earth. Low stress environment with lots of clinical exposure and summers off. Amazing hospitals!

What impressed you negatively?

No wireless internet and the student facilities aren't as nice. Highest Tuition in the country!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How cold Albany is! It snowed a bit and was freezing. If your from Cali, be ready for a change.

What are your general comments?

The day starts off with an admissions presentation, financial aid and then a tour. Then you get to do your interview. If you get 1 interview, it means that you were interviewed with a core member. You will have 2 interviews if you didn't get a core admissions member. After the interview, I recommend walking downtown to the capital state building...awesome sites. Then, we stayed with students and watched the final game of the world series.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
