✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Listened to a mock interview that I had done, kinda prepared for ethical issues (but was not asked any ethical questions).

What impressed you positively?

Students seem happy, the day was pretty stress-free and easygoing.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are a little old. Also, I got the feeling from many other interviewees that this was not their first choice school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you are doing a morning interview, I recommend that you go to the informal Q&A the night before. That way you can talk to students and you'll have plenty to say if the interviewer asks you "why Albany Medical College?" (If you have an afternoon interview, you will be able to talk to students during lunch before your interviews.)

What are your general comments?

Overall the day was very nice and the admissions staff and students were all friendly. I had two interviewers, both faculty. One was a great interviewer (though still totally serious) and the other was a little more difficult to make conversation with.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
