How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN Interview Feedback

What impressed you positively?

balance b/t small city life and more rural areas, great class camaraderie/good vibe from students, board style exams, many UG campuses in area, theme-based curriculum, cheap rent, free parking, can do rotations outside of Albany, can rely entirely on syllabus, tablet will have all pre-loaded lecture notes/syllabi, nice student lounge (pool table, foosball, plasma), Choices Cafe

What impressed you negatively?

technologically behind (recently wireless campus, forcing students to buy a certain tablet PC for c/o 2013 to eliminate incompatibility issues), library is pretty dreary lacking natural light, super cold, average board scores, no formal board review, expensive, nothing really stands out about it, students say administration seems to have organization issues

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

AMC is better than all the trash SDN posters give it. Wasn't asked &quot;why Albany?&quot; nor &quot;why medicine?&quot;

What are your general comments?

Either 1 or 2 interviews. Mine lasted 1.5h...some lasted even longer...

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
