SDN, personal statement, NYCOM website, current NYCOM students, mock-interviews, current events, ethics

What impressed you positively?

NYCOM has a beautiful campus. Everyone is so nice. The students were super enthusiastic; there is parking availabilities; the faculty is willing to work with you; everything is laid out - there is a brief financial aid session! The area has lots of places to shop both materials- and food-wise.

What impressed you negatively?

The library is a bit small, but that's okay because I don't study well in libraries and it's sufficient for research. The gym is small, but I like to jog outdoors anyway.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

On travelling - the directions given to us via mail wasn't so great. But the directions on the website were superb. Very easy to get to. I was prepared to answer the questions. They were pretty general questions and you answer and direct them in a way that is suited for you. I love to cook and bake, so my interviewer asked a few questions about what I cook and bake. I also knew quite a bit about urban health, which my interviewer was interested in and had some knowledge about. He asked me about my family and I asked about his. We had a great conversation!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
