Where did the interview take place?
At the school
How did you prepare for the interview?
sdn, NYU website, re-read my app (most of this was not at all necessary)
What impressed you positively?
The staff and students were all very nice and friendly--they raved about the school. I also felt like NYU is really involved with the community--not the typical medical school bubble.
What impressed you negatively?
Yes, dorms aren't my first choice, but you can't complain about affordable rent in Manhattan.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
A trip to Bellevue after lunch was not really worth it--the patient population is very diverse, but, aside from that, it looks just like any other hospital.
What are your general comments?
Horrendous weather, but everything (the med school, the dorms, and the admissions office) is connected, so I wasn't outside much. The interview was really relaxed. I was only asked the three questions below, and my interviewer spoke (about assorted topics, including medical school and NYU) for the rest of the interview. I would have liked more of a chance to talk about my application. The students were all very friendly and seemed to like the school and their experience there. It was a short day, but I really didn't miss the usual financial aid presentation or speech from the dean.
