No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read through my AMCAS, reviewed notes from a health care class I took

What impressed you positively?

the anatomy lab was VERY nice and didn't smell, really not that far from NYC, pretty campus, the new children's hospital is very nice, students were all friendly, LOTS of California kids

What impressed you negatively?

very dorm like apartments on campus where most everyone lives, Valhalla didn't seem all that wonderful, most students admitted they didn't get in anywhere else

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the zipper on my pants of my suit was broken! but about the interveiw . . . nothing. it helped knowing it would be only sort of open file. you bring hte interviewer your personal statement and that is all they have.

What are your general comments?

Very easy interview day. Not high stress at all. The other interviewees were very firendly. It was a Jewish holiday so there were no classes, which meant hardly any students around. I was glad I stayed with a student host to get to know a few students and see the housing (that I didn't like).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
