What are your general comments?

The interviews are close-file but the interviewers have the choice to read your personal statement and list of activities (without description)...... Mine of course had not read a thing so the interview was spent mostly regurgitating exactly what is on my application. He literally went down the page and as I described each activity he filled it in -- then he says to me ''Sorry, they will be mad at me if I don't get all this information''. Seemed pretty pointless since I didn't get to talk about anything in detail. However, the interview was completely stress free and really the only 2 questions I got were Why Medicine and Why NYMC?

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

it's a little ridiculous that we have to bring copies of our essays for the interviewers -- thats my
