✅ 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?

SND, website, mock interviews (it was my first one)

What impressed you positively?

The students were all very friendly. The anatomy lab is really nice and the administration seems really supportive. It is also really nice how close it is to Manhattan (50% of students live 3rd and 4th yrs in Manhattan). The children's hopsital is gorgeous.

What impressed you negatively?

How expensive the school is. 95% of students live in student housing that is dorm-style and not very nice. There is nothing in Valhalla.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

White Plains is very expensive. Because of that it doesn't seem like there are a lot of housing options outside of student housing.

What are your general comments?

It was a very relaxed interview process and I was pleasantly amazed by how amazing all of hte students are that I spoke with.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
