first interviewer took 2 phone calls during my interview, facilities are definitly not top notch, interviews were very short, the attitude of the students towards meds (most of us skip classes, etc)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

so many one way streets in albany...through some not so great neighbourhoods.

What are your general comments?

drove down the night before, stayed with a student (also a friend from undergrad). that was positive. tour of hospital was ok, nothing stood out - not as terrible as i had heard, but definitly not anywhere close to hightech or top notch facilities.
