8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, read books/article on healthcare, practiced with friends, NYMC website,....

What impressed you positively?

They gave really good directions to the interview sites which are not necessarily inside the administration building

What impressed you negatively?

I had a nurse as my interviewer. She did not know anything about the md program so it was hard to ask her questions at the end of the interview when she asked if I had any questions for her...... my interview was held in the children's hospital, which is 5-10 min walk form the administration building. I was the last to interview so I had to rush after ym interview to get back in time for the tour....they don't wait for you...they come pick you up later but then you miss some of the tour...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How hot it would be in november!

What are your general comments?

the day was relaxed and informal, they make you feel really comfortable about the interview...although one candidate did get a doctor who interviewed him and spent 30 mins asking him how to improve healthcare....depends who you get

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Be more welcoming to students who arrive early. I got there at 745am, and the lobby was empty, with one small sitting area. The doors to the administration offices were closed and no one talked to us until about 8.15 when the doors were open.....
