7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

talked to others who had done MMI style interviews, read about MMI online, think about various "ethical" situations before-hand

What impressed you positively?

Apparently, Albany has an excellent match record. They also have a very convenient lecture system, and housing is pretty inexpensive in nearby areas.

What impressed you negatively?

The facilities are OLD.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

if you interview with the first group, you leave around 3:00 - 3:30. If you interview in the second group, expect to leave around 4:00. It takes 20-35 minutes to get to the airport, account for rush hour traffic. I made a 6:30 plane with time to spare.

What are your general comments?

MMI format with 8 stations to rotate through. 2 minutes to prepare with prompt, 8 minutes in room with interviewer.
