How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on ethical issues online - bioethics.org - because I had heard Albany's reputation for asking ethical questions.

What impressed you positively?

I like the curriculum, and the emphasis on healthcare in society.

What impressed you negatively?

Gross anatomy lab was pretty ghetto. Cost.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Have an answer for how many schools you applied to, what you will do if you don't get into any of them, how you will decide if you get into all of them.

What are your general comments?

There's a good amount of waiting time, so bring some reading material. Expect 2 interviews, and not necessarily one from a student.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
