How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reread my application, looked into ethical issues, NYU website

What impressed you positively?

The students tour guides. They emphasized how happy and non-competitive their classmates were. The friendliness of the student body seems to be a big plus, a doctor/interviewer who stopped to talk with us also said how highly she thinks of the students. The students make time for fun and NYU encourages them to enjoy the city around them. I like that the dorms are so close to the school and guarenteed all four years.

What impressed you negatively?

The dorms aren't too hot, but not that bad - everyone seems to be doing fine in them.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No current event/moral/ethical questions.

What are your general comments?

When I left I felt that my interviewer hadn't gotten a good sense of who I was, not because it went badly, just that it was very short and he didn't ask further into the things I said.
