How did you prepare for the interview?

read over my AMCAS, checked over secondary and thorougly looked at the website. Be prepared to answer Why Einstein, particularly to make clear why Einstein over any other New York school.

What impressed you positively?

My interview. He wasn't "out to get me" and was a very laid back radiologist who asked me question -- mostly nonmedical in nature -- to just get a sense of who I was. It was my first interview so it was nice to be put at ease like that.

What impressed you negatively?

I asked a student what the impact of having 50% of the student body married was on the unmarried nonJewish students. She said there wasn't really a difference. I figured that couldn't be true! Also, I find the system of the student handing his or her own file over to the interview just before the start of the interview a little bit odd. It's strange to have your interviewer looking at your MCATs/gpa, recommendation and personal statement as you're sitting right there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I think it has very much to do with your interviewer. I had a great experience with mine but some of my fellow interviewees said they didn't feel they had "clicked" with theirs. It's a great school, the downside is the location in the Bronx.
