What impressed you positively?
Everyone (including fellow interviewees) was incredibly amiable. The staff, faculty and students were all helpful and charming, and during the downtime, I had a great time goofing around with the rest of the interview group. Also, they gave the most comprehensive financial aid presentation I've seen so far, it was illuminating.
What impressed you negatively?
$$$$$ New England Medical Center was NOT the nicest hospital I've ever been in... and DO NOT stay at the Doubletree; the location is perfect but it's not worth what they charge
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The school/hospital is in Chinatown.. yummy yummy
What are your general comments?
The day starts out with presentations, so pound coffee early on. Then two interviews and a tour. If Dr. Sarno interviews you, try not to worry about the length of the interaction... most people were in with him 5min or less. There was a short tour and then you're done. I was out by around 2:30, but I know some people stayed much later; just the luck of the draw.
