What impressed you positively?
Nearly everyone who goes to Stony Brook seems to really like it there. It seemed like a diverse group of people (including age-wise).
What impressed you negatively?
The usual -- the hospital architecture is nothing to write home about, etc. But the location is not as bad as some will make it out to be, as long as you know what you're getting into. It's not like you'd spend all your free time looking at a wall if you went here.
What are your general comments?
Overall it was OK. My interviewer was an older woman who was not medical school faculty. She had a list of prepared questions that the committee asked her to ask me. She often seemed to put her own spin on the questions and she told me how she thought the interview went at the end (it went well, and I got in).
