How did you prepare for the interview?

studentdoctor.net, mt sinai website, looked over my secondary

What impressed you positively?

Everything about the school!!! The students were so enthusiastic--they adored their school and showed us that in so many ways, the resources were phenomenal, the way they learn is just right up my alley, housing is great, hospital is gorgeous, everyone is just so nice!

What impressed you negatively?

that mount sinai isn't a trauma center and that it's very expensive (as they were very blunt about in the financial aid session)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How great Mt. Sinai is!!!

What are your general comments?

First they talked to us a bit about the school and the curriculum, and then ina span of two hours we all had our two interviews of 1/2 hour each. The interviews were very relaxed and absolutely nothing to worry about. While we waited in between interviews students came in and went on and on about how great Mt sinai is. Then we had lunch (we could get anythign we wanted from teh cafeteria!), and a tour of the school and dorms. Finally we had a tour of highlights in the hospital. Let's just say that even though coming in I was not expecting much after what I saw today I am goign to Mt Sinai if they let me in, despite the expense!
