How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

All of the lectures are recorded and posted online in podcasts. You start getting clinical exposure during your first semester of D2.

What impressed you negatively?

High tuition and living cost is astronomical. Your rent will be around 1600 AFTER splitting it with a roommate. And the apartments are TINY. That's New York for you haha.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Lots of walking up and down the stairs since the elevators are so busy and slow. Wear comfortable shoes or at least brings an extra pair of shoes. My feet were killing me!

What are your general comments?

My interview was very stress-free and I was able to convey who I was and the conversation flowed very nicely. Just be prepared and be yourself.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Nothing. Very friendly and informative staff.
