⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

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?

Tell me about your research

What was the most interesting question?

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

How did you prepare for the interview?

Nothing in particular, I kinda cruised that one

What was the most difficult question?

Can't remember anything in specific

What impressed you positively?

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.
