At the school

How did you prepare for the interview?

I reviewed my application, the NYUCD website, and practiced interviewing with a friend (it was my first interview)

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were nicer than I expected and the administration and faculty members were really friendly. I loved the busy feeling inside the school - patients need to go through the elevator system to get to the clinics so you are often passing them in the hallways. The class size seemed like a real positive in my eyes, giving the opportunity to make connections and meet lots of new people.

What impressed you negatively?

There was a short wait for the elevator... thats about it. It was a great school!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview would be so relaxed!

What are your general comments?

Show up early... they interview in order of arrival. They had food and water available while we were waiting to be interviewed, which was the first thing we did. Then there was Q&A, tour, lunch etc. I was REALLY impressed with the school. The location is unbelievable, resources tremendous, and the general vibe of the school was upbeat and energized.
