💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about yourself: birthplace, schools you've attended
Why NYMC?

What was the most interesting question?

I interviewed a long time ago but forgot to post. No specific questions really. Asked about why I minored in sociology, my favorite sociology course. Mostly conversational... constant dialogue with few direct questions.

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing too difficult. Asked me the name the professor of my favorite sociology class and it took me a second to remember it. (He wanted to possible contact her about giving a lecture on sociology of health).

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, NYMC website, learned about the school (I was asked Why NYMC?), had uncle asked me questions, etc.

What impressed you positively?

Great interviewer who was so relaxed. Told me not to be nervous, etc. Nice anatomy lab, friendly faculty.

What impressed you negatively?

On campus housing could be a negative depending on your preference, students seemed VERY stressed, library doesn't stay open late, few food options on the campus (cafeteria closes early too)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really. This was my third and final interview of the medical school application process, so I was just so relaxed and decided to go for it without being nervous, and I think that worked out best for me.

What are your general comments?

Great experience in the actual interview. Kind of tough to be there at 8:00AM, but it was alright because we got out early. Once again, being relaxed was key. I don't think that anyone in my group had an aweful experience. Know why you want to go to NYMC (what appeals to you).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
