Having come from a relatively sheltered background, why would you like to go to school in Brooklyn?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN, website, re-read application
What was the most difficult question?
In the last few months, what was a difficult situation that you faced and had to overcome?
What impressed you positively?
The facilities are better than people have made them out to be. The clinical exposure is extremely strong - this a prime example of a large system of hospitals serving an underpriveliged, urban patient population.

The neighborhood is Brooklyn is not nice at all. You have the option of commuting from other parts of NYC, though, so you don't have to live there.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Although it's better than the other SUNYs, it's extremely difficult to get into from out of state.
