What impressed you positively?

The class size is very small, about 38 students. All the professors get to know you on a first name basis. It would probably be easy to get to know the faculty who appear so open and approachable. A student who wishes to specialize would probably like Stony Brook for this reason.

What impressed you negatively?

This school discriminates against out of state applicants. Before the interview even began, the interviewer told me that he was suprised that I had recieved an interview becuase the school rarely accepts out of state applicants. I was told by a few students at the school that in the past 3 years, there have been no out of state residents. I was angry that I was invited for an interview but not be given serious consideration for a spot in class. It would have been better if they just rejected me with a letter instead of wasting my money and time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They rarely accept out of state residents. In the last 3 years, no out of the state residents have been accepted.

What are your general comments?

This school is very inconsiderate!!! It made me angry that they would invite me for an interview but not even give me a serious chance of being accepted. I flew to New York at great expense and time. Furthermore, have very limited types of patients.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
