What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

This interview was incredibly conversational. She didn't ask direct questions, just brought up a bunch of things in my file and we talked about them. She also told me a lot about her experience as a family practice DO and graduate of NYCOM, which was great!

What impressed you positively?

The students we met were extremely passionate and engaged. They really seemed like people who would challenge and inspire me. The DPC curriculum was stressed. It's rigor both impressed and scared me. The clinical rotations and hospital connections appeared to be very strong.

What impressed you negatively?

It is impossible to live within walking distance and there is no public transportation or shuttle. The prospect of driving everyday is not exciting (I don't own a car yet!). The facilities were sort of middle of the road compared to others I have seen. The price tag is very high.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be a snowstorm!

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed my time at NYCOM. Because of the high cost of tuition and living/ commuting situation I was hoping I wouldn't like it as much as I did. But the students, faculty, and program really impressed me. If I am lucky enough to be accepted, my decision is going to be very difficult!
