What impressed you positively?

The "Jewishness" of the school (I am a Jew)- Kosher all the time, mazuzas on every door, lots of Jewish students...founded by a Jew.

What impressed you negatively?

THE AREA...it was a little urban and in the middle of an area I wouldn't want to walk alone in.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interview was going to be so question/answer...absolutely no conversation.

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed most aspects of this school, but was a little concerned with its lack of stats, area in NYC, and lack of clinical work from day one---> I want to start seeing patients along with doing book work. The school was nice and they have great facilities

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Less time spent prepping us for the interview in the morning, it made us nervous
