How did you prepare for the interview?

Read school website, SDN, went over my application.

What impressed you positively?

High passing rate on board exams, housing is decent and affordable.

What impressed you negatively?

Since none of the students wanted to host the interviewees, we all stayed in hotels (not fun considering we paid $100 to submit secondaries).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Westchester is the wealthiest county in the US. However, the County Jail and Prison are right next to the school.

What are your general comments?

My interviewer spent most of the time writing down what I was saying and didn't ask anything too out of the ordinary. There is a bit of downtime during which you can sit in on a lecture. I thought things were going well until we had our tours. One of the tour guides was particularly vocal about how much he disliked people from California. I thought he was joking at first but when he continued to goad people about it I realized he lacked any sense of tact. Not someone I would want to go to school with let alone have as my doctor.
