What impressed you positively?
Bellevue is amazing, so is the area, students seemed enthusiastic, P/F first two years.
What impressed you negatively?
Not an abundance of clinical research opportunities, no couples housing for first-years (I'm married).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
It would be pouring rain and my shoes and stocking got soaked when we walked to Bellevue!
What are your general comments?
My interview was scheduled for 10:45, but started a bit after 11 (which was okay, because the interviewer spent that time familiarizing himself with my file). The interview was low-key, basic questions, no curve balls. Then we had lunch at 12 (the room we ate in was freezing!), while the dean of the international program talked at us (not very interesting). Next was a tour of Bellevue, and an abbreviated tour of the medical school (we were running late and the tourguides had to get to class).
