How did you prepare for the interview?

read my reserach - read their reserach (got a list of interviewers before)

What impressed you positively?

the city, the students, the facilities, rockefeller and ski. this place is unbelievable. the tri-institutional program is run amazingly well - and it offers resources and faciulty that are the best in the world. think about this - rockefeller for example has 75 faculty - 30 are national academy of science members, 12 lasker award winners, and 8 nobelists. chances are if you do you phd there - you will get an awesome person. this goes for cornell grad and sloan kettering cancer institute as well. just fantastic.

What impressed you negatively?

the dorm rooms are small for 1st years (but the housing is subsizided - you pay 460 bucks for a room in a location that would cost 2000 a month - not a bad deal).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

parking cost me 50 bucks cause i didn't realize that 2 nights in manhatten was that expensive!

What are your general comments?

the applicants were fantastic - very ivy heavy interview day - but almost everyone was very friendly and down to earth. they will be your classmates, so pay attention to 'em!
