What impressed you positively?

You get to work side by side with the DO students, the campus is open basically 24/7 to study. Come on its New York City who wouldn't want to study here? The Didactic program. Rotations in the biggest city in the USA, you are going to see some very unique medical problems that a small town can't offer.

What impressed you negatively?

The outside of the building made me think to myself "This is a dump!" But once you get inside it is a beautiful school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To double check the hotel I booked with, it was God awful! I didn't sleep a wink and had the biggest interview of my life the following morning. But it paid off, I'm in in!!!!!

What are your general comments?

The professors and the staff seem really nice and the interview was not bad, but then again I'm always relaxed. Some people were freaking out! Just stay calm and do some breathing exercises.
