What are your general comments?

The day consists of the interview, tour by students, lunch, and a brief talk from someone on the admissions committee who was a member of the second graduating class from AECOM. He related his experiences, and attempted to sell the school by telling stories of the unique students that Albert Einstein is looking for. The tour was very short - we walked past the library and then toured AECOM'S gym and Apts. Lunch was very good - don't be scared that it is strictly kosher. My interview was, in my opinion, pretty far away. It was not a stressful interview. My interviewer says that the interview itself counts for less than the personal statement and #'s.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

The interview itself was very conversational. Many of the interviewer's questions were about the city I live in and about a hobby.

What was the most interesting question?

Tell me something that you do that is not obvious from reading your AMCAS.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reread my AMCAS and Interview Feedback(SDN)

What was the most difficult question?

Is there anything that you think I haven't addressed?

What impressed you positively?

The cheap apartments offered by the school. They are located across the street from the medical school.

What impressed you negatively?

My interview was at a location 15-20 min. away from the medical school. I had to bother with a taxi and shuttle...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The area that Albert Einstein is located in is not as bad as one would think for being in the Bronx.
