What impressed you positively?

Students seemed to genuinely like the school. Affiliation with Bellevue hospital. Anatomy lab. Opportunities to go abroad. Interview and tour were well-organized.

What impressed you negatively?

The Masters Scholar thing is not worth the hype. The 1st two years are P/F, but they still keep track of the top 25% in each class so that they can determine AOA. The dorms have co-ed bathrooms.

What are your general comments?

Very laid-back interview, perhaps mostly to see if you are a total freak or not. The interviewer was very nice and wanted to answer my questions, especially about the curriculum. The tour was pretty good and the integration of the various facilities is appealing. The tour guides gave me the impression that NYU holds your hand a lot more than some other schools in the City.
