What are your general comments?
I really liked Einstein. The people I met there (admissions office, students, MDs and RNs in the hospital), were all very friendly and genuinely enthusiastic about the school. The interview was very conversational, and I felt like I could have talked to my interviewer for another hour or two.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What do you think of New York and the Bronx?
What was the most interesting question?
You've had diverse experiences in science--clinical, research--how have they contributed to your decision to enter medicine?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read over my AMCAS application, went through the school's website and looked at the websites of a couple of the hospitals they are affiliated with. Also looked at SDN.
What was the most difficult question?
Why aren't you a Yankee's fan? (My interviewer was really relaxed)
What impressed you positively?
How the students interacted with one another--the learning environment seemed non-competitive, and students really seemed to help one another out. Also, my interviewer and all the people in the admissions office were so nice and incredibly enthusiastic about the school. I was also impressed by the involvement of students with health-related activities outside the classroom.
What impressed you negatively?
The Bronx.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I stayed with friends in Manhattan, which was great, but I wish I had been closer to the school since the subway doesn't really go there as far as I could tell.
