How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Practice

What impressed you positively?

Great location in UES, affiliated hospitals (NYP, MSKCC, HSS) are amazing, Tri-I for MD-PhD is top-notch, and the school is debt-free! (though, this seems to be based on parental income, so if your parents make a lot, your package may be not what you expect)

What impressed you negatively?

One of the interviewers was really cold, students seemed kinda snooty/competitive, AOA pre-residency apps.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How stressful the interview was going to be

What are your general comments?

Weill Cornell has a great location with strong facilities and resources to help students succeed (especially MD-PhD students and those interested in Ortho or Heme/Onc - will make it easier to match into HSS as a resident or MSKCC as a fellow). I was kinda put off by their admin/student body, but everything else about Weill is great.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
