P&S website, brochure, re-read my application

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are great, faculty is great, students are great.

What impressed you negatively?

Our tour guides forgot to show up so we waited awhile for them to find some available students. Washington Heights is not the greatest neighborhood, but the rest of Manhattan is but a subway away.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Everyone complains about the dorms...who cares!?!?! It's a dorm room for one year - get over it! The apartments for 2nd years are very nice.

What are your general comments?

I didn't mention the words "doctor", "physician" or "health care" during my interview. Instead, we just chatted. As far as I'm concerned, P&S views all of its interviewees as qualified candidates and they're just trying to get to know you so that they can turn you into the best doctor. Overall, it was great.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
