What impressed you positively?

The facilities are great. They have a lot of money up there. The students are very happy. The curriculum is great and is set up to allow you a lot of free time. Dorms are nice and an incredible deal for that part of Manhattan (or anywhere for that matter)

What impressed you negatively?

The tour guides seemed to love the school, but weren't the most talkative people.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was under the impression that they only had wealthy patients up there, but most departments have up to 40% medicaid patients. Much more diverse patient population than I thought.

What are your general comments?

I gave a high stress rating to this interview only because I really want to go there and it was my first interview where they actually asked those hard questions. It was also hard to get a read on the interviwers. They didn't give away whether they liked your answers or not.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
