How did you prepare for the interview?

read my AMCAS over

What impressed you positively?

Lots of great opportunities, like rotations in NYC. Curriculum. The actual campus itself and the facilities are really nice, there's lots of green everywhere.

What impressed you negatively?

Location wasn't for me though, too isolated overall. The tour was pretty bad, the guides seemed disinterested.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There's lots of downtime. The interviews are scheduled between 9:45 and noon, and in this chunk of time when you're not interviewing you're kind of on your own

What are your general comments?

I think NYMC is a really good school but I don't think the location is for me. If only it was closer to the city
