The students were a bit insecure and they all felt like Columbia rejects (I'm sure not everyone, but I get that feeling from a few people) The school is in a VERY noisy part of New York, expensive and I don't know if I'd be able to sit down and study at all! It balanced out however when the faculty seemed to be very nice.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Nothing particularly interesting. I was trying to figure out the research facility and so forth, and the faculty was enthusiastic in presenting their own research projects
The faculty were better prepared than I thought, the school is in a REALLY cool place in midtown Manhattan. Nice hospital
What impressed you negatively?
i wanted to collaborate with the faculty at the Washington Square Park campus, but there seems to be very little interaction going on. Disappointing particularly for neuro people as the WSP program is much stronger in neuroscience.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Such easy access to all the cool NYC stuff. I explored time square and down town just by take the subway and on foot.
