What impressed you positively?
The very friendly admissions staff, students and faculty members. The genuine responses about the school from everyone. Ms. Lisa Lee has no problem referring DPMs to me from even my small town, which impressed me. Everyone has many connections.
What impressed you negatively?
Not really seeing the "crappy, old" facilities that everyone was talking about. (maybe a good thing- because the lab was being renovated) and I was being ignorant?
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
1. to wear flats and not high heels (ironically, the feet were hurting), the shiny floors were slippery and I was sliding all over the place. FYI: this is just a personal note, ladies please continue to dress appropriately for your interviews.
2. to shadow a little more in the field before my interview. that was the only thing I didn't have enough exposure to to be able to speak about.
What are your general comments?
Overall, no complaints. Nothing I haven't already known about the school facilities, staff, location, curriculum, etc. Everyone shared their perspective about NYCPM. It might be in a "scary ghetto" place, but I want a DPM from NYCPM, and nothing's going to stop me, if accepted.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Provide an agenda of the interview day in hard copy form. And maybe some notepad for notes.
