What impressed you positively?

my first interview was much fun to talk to; he was the yellow haired Ob/gyn guy who asked me questions such as: what is the color yellow, what is life, what is compassion, what is passion, difference between sympathy and empathy, what is logic, etc.

What impressed you negatively?

that they have the highest tuition in America, and the facilities are still not as good as some other places I saw. The housing situation there is horrendous, which makes me wonder where all that high tuition is going to. (some schools in NYC have cheap subsidized housing for their students.)I don't usually care much about tuition (expecting an HPSP scholarship), but when the school charges HIGH tuition for little improvement in the school, it is a big red flag concerning the school's financial circumstances and future direction. The area is also unsafe, evident from the high security guarding entrances to the school's buildings.

What are your general comments?

They have a somewhat long presentation of their school, followed by lunch with students, then the interviews and tours. The lunch was okay, better than some schools I visited, but not as good as some other places that served hot food in the cafeteria (again, not reflective of their high tuition). The interview schedule after that was chaotic. I had a tour before my interviews, and some have it in between and others after their interviews. You sit in a large room with around 40 applicants waiting to be called anytime from 1 to 4:30, so it is a little unnerving. My interviews were somewhat late, and by the time I got to my second interview I was a little tired so I did not express myself as well as I wished. Maybe that was why I have not received the acceptance e-mail on 12/15/05 that many others did. So I am either "delayed decision"/waitlisted, or rejected. O well, their loss.
