How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed my application the night before, school's website, spoke to current NYCOM student

What impressed you positively?

Stan and Ped (though I knew about them before, they were pretty cool to see up close), clinical affliations, overall student body (very warm and receptive)

What impressed you negatively?

The library because it's verrrry small.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing

What are your general comments?

Very laid back. My interviewer was pretty cool and asked me straightfoward questions. I did feel like I had a lot more to say that I was alotted time for but this could have been attributed to me being the last person to interview during our session. Eitherway, the interview went well and I just found out that I got in... I'll be going to NYCOM come August!!!
