What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
that Stony Brooks is looking for middle-class, friendly people, not super awesome sons/daughters of rich doctors
What are your general comments?
Started meeting in the admissions office where I got to know the other applicants that were there. First interview with faculty who was extremely out-spoken, dropping the f-bomb and such and when he asked me about a wild time I had wouldnt take anything less than a wild wild time. Student interviewer was awesome and she even keeps in touch now. Stony Brook is really pretty, everyone seems happy and I think it would be a great place to go to medical school!
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
