What are your general comments?
Most people know NYU for its name. After interviewing, I think NYU is very over-rated. Columbia, Cornell, and Mt. Sinai are all so much better than NYU. It was quite telling when a student leading our tour mentioned "here is our dorm...here is our gym...here is our anatomy lab" and the interviewees just looked at each other with a dumbfounded look saying, "No way, this can't be NYU." But it is. You will see for yourself when you interview there. I don't know how anyone would choose this school over any other school in NYC or for that matter, anywhere in the US.

NYU, for the most part, is a dump. Facilities are terrible.
