How did you prepare for the interview?

I prepared a lot, but it was my first interview, so i was nervous and i blanked out. Don't try to memorize any answers. Just have ideas of what you want to talk about.

What impressed you positively?

Not many students, so you get to make friends.

What impressed you negatively?

Lots of negatives. This place is in the ghetto. It is miles from anything. A grocery store is 20 minutes away. Just a school, empty broken down buildings, and houses. Touro bought a naval base during WW1 and WW2 and is basically remodeling it. Kind of deprssing place. And the library of the whole med and pharm school about about 1000square ft.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing. just the fact that the interview is rather open ended and very open to discussion. There was 5 of us and we were adding on and critizing on each others answers. The whole interview was like 5 or 6 questions. Just watch what you say because if you state a false fact regarding anything you're talking about, you're done.

What are your general comments?

Look above. Negative

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
