💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
Do normal batteries have liquid inside? (relevant to my research)
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read my personal statement, essays, etc.
What was the most difficult question?
I think the only difficult part (not a question) was trying to say everything I wanted to.
What impressed you positively?
The curriculum changes are making everything more integrated which I think will make learning a lot easier. For example, you learn about the organ when you dissect it. Also, the pre-clinical part is only 1.5 years and the clinical part is 2.5 with pre-clinical info mixed in. This way, we have a better idea of fields when we apply for residencies.
What impressed you negatively?
The only thing that I thought was negative was the old residence hall, but GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!! They are purchasing a building a few blocks away and opening a new dorm for the Class of 2014!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
NYC is so expensive!
