What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have relaxed a little more and packed more layers. NYC was freezing; my interview was the day after the massive snow storm that closed schools.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, I was a little intimidated by the city at first. However, this diminished once I had the opportunity to talk to students attending NYCPM. I found that student, faculty, and staff were very enthusiastic about this institution. While the school is an older facility, the admission's staff informed me that the school is continuing to renovate various classrooms. Eventually the clinic will also be updated as well.
