What impressed you positively?

Overall, I liked the school. The campus is really nice and open, not just a building. WMC is a 1000 bed level 1 TC, and the rest of the network is large and has some great hospitals so the school offers outstanding clinical training. Buildings themselves were nice and the anatomy lab is probably one of the best in the country. The students, staff, faculty were pretty nice and were happy to talk with us when we had questions.

What impressed you negatively?

The student housing was okay, not a plus for me but for some that might be a draw. The curriculum is rather traditional with some group learning, nothing innovative. Not a huge research school, although it still has a lot of opportunities. The immediate area is just houses, woods, and a cemetary; you have to go to White Plains or NYC to do anything exciting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They will let you do rotations internationally. They have a few programs for this already set up but if you want to plan on your own, they let you propose the project and they are pretty flexible with it.

What are your general comments?

Overall I had a good experience. The interviewer was very nice, and the hour was very conversational. No nasty questions or anything. Just be prepared for typical questions and know your amcas back and forth, although the interviews are blind they do have a list of your EC's and ask you about them.
