How did you prepare for the interview?

Studentdoctor.net, reviewed AMCAS application essay, practiced answering interview questions, did extensive background research on NYMC from their website.

What impressed you positively?

The anatomy lab is very very impressive. Trust me, I've worked in an anatomy lab in college! Also, I really appreciated that the student body was collaborative and that there was a lot of comradrie - the people here are not competitive and work hard together to learn together!

What impressed you negatively?

The campus is in the middle of nowhere. There is no public transportation to speak of and no "campus" to speak of. There is nothing within the community to do (i.e. no coffee shops, no stores, no entertainment, nada!). The facilities/buildings and dorms weren't that impressive to me either (but I come from a private college so maybe my standards are slightly different).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

The interview was very conversational. My interviewer did a good job of putting me at ease. It was interesting to talk to him about his opinions on the medical education system.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
