What impressed you positively?

Curriculum. I had my doubts about the emphasized PBL but now that I understand it better I think it is superior. I was also happy to know that the curriculum is not 100% PBL like I thought. There is actually lecture everyday. Just not too much time is spent in lecture.

What impressed you negatively?

None of the students I met seemed like cool or interesting people to hange out with. The studentst seemed a little nerdy/uninteresting. Also, wayyyyyy too much downtime on interview day. They could have let us sit in on a class or something to fill the time. Oh, and they didn't feed us breakfast so by the time lunch came at noon everyone was starving.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the curriculum consisted of about 50% lecture. That they place a huge emphasis on international clinical experiences. Also, that you could live in Manhattan for about 500 dollars a month (subsidized apartment style dorm rooms).

What are your general comments?

Overall I was impressed with the school. The facilities were very nice and you certainly get the feel of a prestigious school. The interview day started a little early for me but at least I got my both interviews done early and was able to relax for the rest of the day. There was a lot of waiting around after the interviews (about two hours). Lunch was good. Great school and the curriculum is great.
