How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the NYMC website and looked at some of the interview feedback pages

What impressed you positively?

A lot. I liked the students and the facilities seemed relatively up to date. Everyone was helpful and looked happy, which hasn't been the case at all of the schools I've seen.

What impressed you negatively?

There were very few negatives that I found. I was a little early to the interview and the door to the administration building was still locked, which sucked because it was snowing. The tuition is pretty expensive as well. The person in charge of financial aid was stuck in traffic so that part of the day was lost.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Give yourself plenty of time to get back to LaGuardia or JFK after your interview is over.

What are your general comments?

It was a lot better than some of the recent feedback I've seen on SDN. No, it's not in the heart of NYC but it's easy to live in the city after your first year. Contrary to what I've seen in others' feedback, the students I met were happy and said they led healthy social lives. It seemed like a nice, albeit expensive, place to go to school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
