What was the most interesting question?

If you were in this situation what would you do: A patient said that he would feel more comfortable speaking with an African-american doctor because he would understand his needs better. What would you do?

What was the most difficult question?

Probably the one above. Many of the questions were hypothetical situations and I believe they just wanted to see how I would react and how I would handle different atmospheres and situations I may encounter.

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Well, as one of the first interviews at the school and being a new school, I didn't have much to go by, but I did go to the school website and that was about it.

What impressed you positively?

The location. Not only is it part of NYC but because I'm interested in EM, it's an ideal setting. Also, proximity to Columbia Univ. as well as many other places and the rotation sites for your 3rd and 4th year!

What impressed you negatively?

Cost of living, and there was no school building yet (it was still being built).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They have no building yet! Should be done around april.

What are your general comments?

It was actually very laid back. I got along with my interviewers and we shared a couple laughs and chatted off topic. Overall, I liked the school and it was a good thing because I was accepted.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
