What impressed you positively?

the students appear to be really supportive of one-another. also, there appears to be a great deal of school support for starting student groups. there's even a school funded quilting club.

What impressed you negatively?

the tour didn't seem that well planned out.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew how friendly everyone was going to be. Even the other interviewees were a lot of fun. We were all very relaxed around one-another. If you're feeling nervous, go to the student welcome so you can meet some of the other interviewees. The familiarity will make things more comfortable on interview day.

What are your general comments?

Both interviews were pretty laid back. The first was with a ethics specialist. I didn't get asked any difficult ethics questions, but I really dodged that bullet. it seemed like almost every one of the others did. not everyone gets the same interviewers. about halfway through the first interview, one of the current students stopped over to say goodbye to my interviewer. She had a baby with her and the interview stopped for a minute or two while everyone played with the baby. it was very very relaxed. the first interview lasted about 40 minutes. my second interview was approaching 5 p.m. it was with an intern who graduated from Albany Med. it was totally laid back. she talked a lot about what Albany had to offer. it was almost more like an information session than an interview. no really tough questions. very friendly, very convesational.
