What are your general comments?

The interview was really conversational. When I walked in, the interviewer spent about 10-15 minutes just explaining to me a spinal scan that he was looking at. He asked about family and the usual questions (why do you want to be a doctor? what do you think the hardest part of being a doctor will be? etc etc) but there was nothing out of the ordinary. Overall, the students seemed to be really happy with their school choice and did not really mind that the school was in the Bronx (vs. Manhattan). It's fairly easy to get into the city during weekends, and being in the Bronx means that it's less distracting during the week. There is a really supportive student community there.
