Application review, studentdoctor.net

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are nice, anatomy lab is really nice, students seem like a family, attended a very good lecture, I really like the Binghamton clinical campus option - seems very hands on.

What impressed you negatively?

The only thing bad I could say is that the school isn't ranked as high. I'm not sure if that would be an issue later when residency matching.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

if you stay at the genesee hotel, take the shuttle to the med school in the morning. Parking is not right next to the med school. Also, interviews could be a few blocks from med school building so be prepared.
