The friendliness of the students and administration. I felt comfortable from the moment that I walked in. The students had nothing but good things to say about the school.

There was nothing that struck me as being negative.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
When you first arrive, a panel of medical students sit with you and the other interviwees and answer questions. Although I arrived 20 minutes before my scheduled interview time, if I had arrived a bit earlier, I could have been there for more questions.
What are your general comments?
My interview at Stony Brook was really great. I felt extremely comfortable with my interviewer who really knew my application well and asked relevant questions. I asked her a question about the school during the interview that she said she didn't know the answer to. Three hours after the interview, I received an e-mail from her with the answer and how much she enjoyed talking to me!
