What impressed you positively?

The female students were hot. Actually, a lot of diversity, which is good!!!Locals are hot too. Attractive women.

What impressed you negatively?

No significant research being done at Albany Med. The MD/ Distinction in Research degree. Supposedly its like a masters, but who is going to think so? How am I going to take my clinical experiences into the lab, and develop a potential treatment with no research?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To not go to the interview. My flight to Albany was cancelled when I got to Detroit for the transfer. I guess the snow was too bad. I had to fly to white plains and rent a car. I drove 3 hours in the blazing snow to albany. I got 3 hours of sleep before my interview. I'm under 25 so i had to pay the "my parents had sex 3 years too late" 110 dollar charge to rent the car. (obviously i'm upset with the whole experience)

What are your general comments?

For people who want to get in and get an MD, and do family practice, Albany is great. For people who want to be in a larger institution that gets funding from NIH, Albany sucks. The faculty members didn't impress me. They were really friendly, but I could tell that I wouldn't be happy here. I heard one guy was a prick and grilled some of the other applicants on ethics.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
