What impressed you positively?

Fantastic interview experience. Everyone on the admissions staff, the students, and my interviewer made me feel very comfortable. Great hospital. Looks very busy and has a level 1 Trauma. The interview was the lowest stress interview I have ever had.

What are your general comments?

Started the day with breakfast. We got to sit and relax and chat with interviewees as we waited for our interviewers. The orientation talk was very succinct and well-organized. No financial aid talk, which was a bit strange, but they're usually boring anyway. You get 1-2 interviews based on availability of interviewers. Then there was lunch and tour. Everything was very succinct and organized, so I was never bored the entire time. I was very impressed by the friendliness of my interviewer and the admissions staff. Albany is a totally underrated school on SDN. I have nothing to complain about.
