Read website, reread my application

What impressed you positively?

The students were great people, and they had an all-you-can eat lunch, and it was good that it was after my interview (I was getting tired of the small snack lunches elsewhere, but I guess AE makes up for it in the largest application fee!)

What impressed you negatively?

The apartments weren't so great as I had heard. Too much brown color everywhere and looked outdated. At least it was cheap. The area looked run-down.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Don't apply to a school you don't really want to go to.

What are your general comments?

There was a huge number of interviewees. The students were great people and so were fellow applicants. But nothing about the school in particular stood out. My interview was closed file and was at Montefiore Medical Center (had to take a shuttle). I spent most of the hour reiterating stuff that I had painstaking wrote in a way that could easily be understood. You could get lucky and have an open interview, like many of the other applicants.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
