What impressed you positively?

Most everything. The students were VERY laid back, talkative, friendly, intelligent and eager to answer questions; they seemed to absolutely love it there. "True" P/F. The campus was beautiful (even during winter), and the facilities that I saw were nice (including the lecture hall). Housing can't be beat for the price. Very large, impressive network of clinical sites to train in all over NYC, as well as right there on campus. School offers TONS of student support--they seem really tuned in to what students want, and do everything in their power to be flexible, responsive, and make sure students are happy. They also offer amazing opportunities for research and funded international travel (seems to be highly encouraged and easy to obtain). The admissions staff members were incredibly sweet, and my interviewer was very friendly and seemed bright, respected, and hardworking. What I saw of the Bronx impressed me -- quiet, residential, safe, lots of upper middle class neighborhoods and parks. Easy to get into Manhattan (~30-35 min bus ride to UES)

What impressed you negatively?

Interview day was very unstructured, with no informational sessions to learn more about the school, what'll come next in the application process, etc. The students were awesome and very helpful, but an appearance from a faculty member or two to discuss the school and put a face with the name would have really helped. It made for a very laid back and short day, but I left feeling like I didn't know that much more about the school than when I arrived. My interview days elsewhere were more structured, a bit more informative, and they all went out of their way to sell the school to applicants. Einstein is quite an amazing school when you take the time to read about it and talk to current students, but the unstructured interview day means it just lacks the impact that other schools have on applicants during their days.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Interviewed in early December and it surprisingly freezing; pack accordingly, as you will be outside a fair amount. My interview was at Montefiore, which required a short shuttle ride (walkable, but wouldn't be so fun in dress clothes in winter), but it was quite easy to get there. I took a cab there from Manhattan, which costs $30-40, and ended up taking the bus back once I saw how easy it was...picks up right across the street from the building housing the admissions office, drops off right in front of The Met in UES, where cabs are lined up.
