How did you prepare for the interview?

The interview is very informal and comfortable. Basically the questions were germane to my experiences and interests.

What impressed you positively?

Success rates on board scores and matching for residencies, not to mention the large number of students who return for residencies in California. Impressive Anatomy Lab. Short distance from Manhattan. Substantial scholarship for top 30 students.

What impressed you negatively?

Lottery for housing in Manhattan during the 3rd year clerkships. 1st and 2nd year housing new and clean, but will remind you of being back in the dorms.

What are your general comments?

The overall interview experience is well organized. I also got a kick out of the picture ID, although my photo was pretty bad - hopefully they don't use that picture for the committee decision. Overall an enjoyable visit.
