💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

No responses

What was the most interesting question?

Since it's a closed-file interview, my interviewer spent a lot of time asking me questions about where I was born, what my parents do, where i went to school etc. i guess that's one of the downfalls of these type of interviews, but then it's a good opportunity to break the ice. the most interesting Qs came when my interviewer started asking questions based on my answers.

What was the most difficult question?

to recall what i've done every summer while in college and if there are any red flags in my application (time unaccounted for in AMCAS, particularly low grades, etc)

How did you prepare for the interview?

NYMC website, SDN, friends who have interviewed there before

What impressed you positively?

beautiful area, anatomy lab is spacious, not too smelly and with excellent natural light, the students are very friendly, the financial aid presentation was extremely informative and organized, the school uses a lot of technology, the module rooms are very cool

What impressed you negatively?

apartments a bit too college dorm-like for my taste, a tad isolated and having a car would be useful

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

i should have been more prepared in listing my activities/classes in chronological order (what did you do during your summer sophomore year?) at this point, i know what i've done but it's hard to attach a year to it.

What are your general comments?

It's a fabulous school if you want to be in a suburban area for the first 2 years and NYC for 3 & 4th years

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
