What impressed you positively?

the green campus & the happy students. Very spacious, airy, and minimal smell to the anatomy lab.

What impressed you negatively?

tuition. emphasis on Californians.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interviewer was going to ask that interesting ? above. Despite what they say, not all 1st years are guaranteed housing. There's not room for them all.

What are your general comments?

The interview isn't completely blind, the interviewer gets a summary sheet with your name, schools attended, and lists your activities. There's a scribe service. Everyone with the service has to do a lecture. Everyone goes through the entire body in anatomy. (Some schools have groups do sections and present their findings.) <br> I flew into EWR. Just outside the terminal you can wait for a charter bus ($12) that takes you 1 block away from Grand Central Terminal. From there, you can catch the Harlem North train ($5) to White Plains and catch a cab to the school. approx 1.5 hours, but easy and you save money with farther airport.
