✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read all I could find on Einstein, current issues in medicine, and reviewed my application and SDN feedback.

What impressed you positively?

The admission's office took the time/effort to pair me with an interviewer who had a great deal in common with me.

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer fought yawning and watched the clock over my head during the interview. The financial aid officer basically told me to go to my state school because they didn't have great resources for aid.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had been prepared to guide the interview more. It really was the most relaxed interview ever. I hit all my key points, but the interviewer didn't ask me anything to 'flesh out' my application.

What are your general comments?

My day wasn't unlike the other feedback on SDN. The one thing I did do was arrive early enough to sit in on a 1st and then a 2nd year lecture. I was really impressed with them and think it was well worth my time.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
