What impressed you positively?

The students who gave the tour were very nice, helpful and seemed happy with the school. Also, the interviewers were relaxed, friendly and approachable.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities at Albany Med are definitely on the older side. Renovations are planned, but they won't be finished until after I will have graduated from school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

The day started off with an orientation and talk by a member of the admissions office, and then someone from financial aid. Both were very friendly, open and informative. After a nice lunch, there was a tour given by two students - one a first year, the other a second year. Both really liked the school and gave a good tour. After that, there were two interviews (although a couple people only had one). I had two facutly interviews, while some people's second interview was with a student. Both faculty members that I met with were great and while I was asked a few difficult questions, it was still fairly easy going and low stress.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
