What impressed you positively?

Facilities, NYC, MS2-4 apartments, my interviewers(!), students

What impressed you negatively?

well I noticed noone placed in neurology this year, and a student candidly relayed that you can tell a lot about the strengths of a schools clerkship programs based on what specialties students match to - in other words, their neuro rotation isn't the best...hoping i could do it at another nyc hospital if i were to go there

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I'm on the fence about their reliance on PBL; I talked to a resident there that also went to Cornell med and he told me it can be a waste of time and that years 1-2 seemed horrible to him, but when he got to rotations he fell in love with the school; just don't know how to interpret the strengths of the PBL...

What are your general comments?

Great day, great interviewers, I left feeling overall enthusiastic about the school (and of course NYC)
