✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

MSAR, www.mssm.edu, SDN feedback, watching the news for current events, looking into current issues, reviewing AMCAS

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed enthusiastic. They all loved their experience there, and seem to be having a good time even with all the work. Hospital is really nice, and many opportunities seem to be available for the students. Interviews were chill and they're looking for reasons to accept you rather than reject you. The student housing is really nice and cheap for NYC. Quick access to rest of the city (the 6 stops right next to the school). Really nice location. Excellent match list. P/F grading, non-PBL centered curriculum, and NYC rules!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. Doors in interview rooms were tricky to open, lol.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Hmmm, nothing out of the unexpected.

What are your general comments?

For the actual interviews, we were brought into room by interviewer, clarified parts of AMCAS app (mostly activities), asked why you're interested in Mount Sinai. Low stress. Rest of the day was typical of an interview experience. We had a powerpoint presentation, met a bunch of current students, we chatted with the deans, toured the school with students, had lunch, yadda yadda.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
