How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN,read NYMC website, reviewed AMCAS application

What impressed you positively?

facilities, housing provided and relatively cheap ($600/month includes everything except phone), free parking on campus, curriculum (trimesters with 2 major classes each trimester)

What impressed you negatively?

location (pretty rural), COST, how slow they said it would take for them to give a decision (10 weeks!!!), capmus housing reminded me of living in dorms in college and I dont want that again

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

NYMC has little signs of being Catholic (I would call it a loose association), there isn't a whole lot to do in Valhalla or nearby

What are your general comments?

45 min interview, times are either 9:45, 10:30 or 11:15. One on one interview, closed file. Asked questions about application and personal statement so know these both well. Some interviewers read amcas essay ahead of time, some read it afterwards. Bring two copies of amcas essay (personal statement) to interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
