What are your general comments?
The day started with a tour of the school (including the dorms). I am not a fan. The rooms were very small and the bathrooms are co-ed. There is a shared kitchen on each floor. Almost all of the students live in the dorms. The students were relatively young and seemed to like partying. Then we had lunch and a brief (uninformative) presentation by someone who did not even know what was on the slides. Then I had a quick tour of the hospital. We went on one floor and then left. Then I had the interview. We just talked about the different schools in NYC. He asked what I thought about NYC (many times). He asked if I could see myself living there. We pretty much just chatted. He basically said that I am going to have to decide where I want to go to school, since I will have a lot of options. I asked him what he looks for in an applicant. He said someone that is unique and can bring something new to the school. He also asked what I see myself doing in 10 years. I hate those questions.
