No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read all of the previous interview experiences, Read up about the school (but if you dont have time to do this, dont worry...you will learn so much about the school during your orientation before the actual interview), brushed up on medical issues

What impressed you positively?

The student hosts were the nicest and most helpful guys I have ever met. If there was one reason to go to the school, it would be because of the great friendships that develop between the students in each class.

What impressed you negatively?

The school's location. I didn't like the fact that it was out so far away from the city. However, you do have the chance to do rotations in the city.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you are flying in to New York, be prepared to spend a lot of money taking public transportation to the medical school. New York is really expensive.

What are your general comments?

The interview itself was not a bad experience, but it wasn't anything extraordinary. The interviewer asked her questions, I answered them, and then she wrote down whatever I said.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
