What impressed you positively?

The school is committed to training generalist physicians. However, that doesn't mean that they discourage students from specializing. The campus is green with lots of open space. Student housing is a five minute walk away from the lecture halls and library. The anatomy hall is gorgeous with natural light flooding in. At the end of the anatomy course, the class has the opportunity to meet with the family members of those who willed their body to science. Pretty awesome! Students have the option of staying in Valhalla or moving to the city during the third year. Housing is provided in the city. Student housing on campus is great although it looks a little too much like college dorms. The school boasts its nearly 100% passing rate on the Boards.

What impressed you negatively?

Research is not particularly strong although that is something the school is working on.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My original interviewer was unable to interview me because a faculty member's wife had died that weekend. Be prepared for anything!

What are your general comments?

If you fly into La Guardia or JFK, take the train (called MTA) to Valhalla. Go to Google.com to find a schedule of when the trains leave Grand Central Station. It will cost you $5 each way so avoid taking taxis if you can. The day is well organized. When you arrive, you will be given a folder with lots of NYMC propaganda. It's good stuff to use when they ask why you want to attend NYMC. You will not know who you will be interviewing you until you arrive.
