What are your general comments?
I stayed in Manhattan, took the train to the interview-very convenient. It was raining. The school was pretty, very green, and students lived on campus in apartments that were pretty nice. However, there really is nothing walking distance from the school, You have to pay to park your car. My interview was pretty good, it was with a member of the admissions committee- non science background. I wish I had met more of the students, because the ones I met did not seem like very interesting people, and kind of turned me off to the school.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
All the questions were very standard. Basically the interviewer just went through my file and asked me to explain everything I did (volunteer work, etc.)
What impressed you positively?
The facilities were very nice and new, especially the cadaver lab which was very large and not smelly. It is also only 30 min. from manhattan.
What impressed you negatively?
The students seemed boring/unenthusiastic.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The students live on campus, and there is nothing around the campus for several miles (it is in a rural area).
