How did you prepare for the interview?

NYMC website. Going over questions out loud. SDN Interview Feedback page.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was incredibly nice. The students seem to have a life despite their studies. Their follies videos (shown to me by my student hosts were hilarious.)

What impressed you negatively?

It does seem in the middle of nowhere. Good for studying...though the students do talk of going to White Plains. Also, 2nd year is largely self-study, which can be a negative depending on your learning style.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Apparently, the website said that boots were totally acceptable to wear in the winter. I ended up changing into boots half way through the day, but I would have loved to have skipped the heels all together. :-)

What are your general comments?

A nice experience. The interview was a breeze and my interviewer was a very nice woman who seemed genuinely interested in me.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
