How did you prepare for the interview?

this website, review AMCAS

What impressed you positively?

The immense size of the facility. The school and its affiliated hospitals etc took up a few city blocks. Diversity of not only student body and patients, but of the area itself. Im taking about food. THey had a "roti" stand outside next to a hot dog vendor. You cant get more NY than that.

What impressed you negatively?

Echoing what many other people have stated, the facilities are a bit dreary.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

where the parking lot is

What are your general comments?

My interviewer was very outgoing and jollow. We immediately connected and had a pleasant, often very humorous conversation. I wish i could give out his name here. No suprises here. Just the standard questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
