How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the school's website.

What impressed you positively?

Their student survival guide is nice.

What impressed you negatively?

Interviewer called B$ on my "why NYMC?" answer - scheduled 30 minute interview went for 55 minute and was almost hostile after that one (at the 30 minute mark). Financial aid presenter was crass "Don't worry about how expensive it is, you'll be rich." And the student presenter made everyone uncomfortable, no one wanted to ask questions, she said she wasn't interested in the things people asked about.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How insular White Plains is.

What are your general comments?

This was by far my worst interview, performance- and experience-wise. But I got in, so I don't know what to tell you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
