How did you prepare for the interview?

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The facilites, while not sparkling, are basically comparable to that at other schools I've seen (though fewer computers). The cost - for in state, this school is a serious bargain. The honesty of the students regarding classes, lectures, books. Description of early clinical experiences. Rec facilities are pretty good.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Not a very cohesive student body type school. You can tell, in some ways it is an underfunded state school. It just doesn't look pretty.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How nervous some of these out-of-towners get when confronted by an urban, lower-class neighborhood.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, positive. If I get in here, I'm going here - the cost is great. Those of you not liking the neighborhood - I am a 10 year NYC resident, and have lived in a neighborhood right near the school for over two years (it was a 15 minute walk for me to get to my interview). While it isn't pretty, it really isn't dangerous, and you can find a decent apartment near the campus for the same or slightly less than the school housing.
