How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, NYMC website, asked the student host about NYMC the night before

What impressed you positively?

The anatomy lab has a nice skylight. My student host was awesome and really cool.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewer. He answered a call during the middle of the interview which took up like 30 minutes. That was really rude. When I asked him about volunteer/research/ec opportunities, he said, "you won't have time for that stuff because you're going to be studying all the time here." That completely turned me off of the school. Also, there are/were rumors about the Touro system buying NYMC. I wouldn't feel comfortable being at a school that would need to receive funding from a for-profit DO system.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

As a rule of thumb, if a school has to mention that more than 50% of the students there chose it over another school, it might not exactly be a place you'll be happy at.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
