No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Mock interview, SDN, practiced answering standard interview questions, AECOM website, reviewed my application

What impressed you positively?

The interviewer was really friendly and encouraging. Housing is guaranteed.

What impressed you negatively?

The Bronx is a pretty dingy area. The students were happy, but not very enthusiastic. Clinical exposure is not very early. The tour was pretty disorganized at the beginning. Library and gym closed on Saturdays (Jewish observance)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My interviewer didn't actually get my file until I handed it to him at the start of the interview.

What are your general comments?

There was no formal presentation about the school by the admissions office, which I found a bit disappointing. I met with a researcher in the morning (they give you the opportunity to request that), sat in on the end of a first-year lecture, had lunch and a tour with students and fellow applicants, and then had my interview. The interview was great - very informal, conversational, the interviewer was interested in getting to know me and encouraged me to follow my goals. It was kind of strange that I hand-delivered my file to him and waited for 15 minutes while he looked it over...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
