The waiting room is rather dreary. They need to remodel it.

no ethics question

What are your general comments?

There is free breakfast when you arrive. As you are waiting for tours or interviews, 3rd and 4th years will drop by to talk about their experience. There are multiple tours led by 1st and 2nd years throughout the day. Obviously, pick the one that will not conflict with your interview time. At the end of my interview, my interviewer told me that the interviews at NYU are done to screen out the few individuals who shouldn't be in medicine. Most people will pass so I don't think anyone should stress out preparing for NYU's interview.
