How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

5 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, the website, but overall just practice from my previous interviews.

What impressed you positively?

How satisfied the students were with the school, the ANATOMY LAB (imagine that!), the school's high USMLE pass rates.

What impressed you negatively?

Laundry for the student housing being in another building (though it is close), no on-campus option for food past lunch.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interviewer already had my personal statement - I'd bring copies just in case, however, as not all of the interviewers may have them.

What are your general comments?

Seems like a really good school, focused a lot on providing a good education for students and the close proximity to NYC is a nice balance to the idyllic feel of the campus itself.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
