What impressed you positively?

presence in harlem, access to new york social life

What impressed you negatively?

Honestly, I think that establishing a school in Manhattan (especially harlem) makes it really difficult for any expansion to take place. The school has had 2 classes thus far and many among the first year had to retake Anatomy at a separate location. really i have my concerns about this school. the fee for the secondary application was more than any other school and the deposit required to secure a spot (when accepted) is $2k, non-refundable. anyway, not my favorite interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers had not looked at my file prior to the interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Greater degree of contact with applicants prior to the interview would help me be better prepared.
