How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over SDN, my AMCAS, which helped because my interviewer knew my application quite intimately.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone I encountered at this school was exceedingly friendly. It seems to be a very supportive environment. I was also impressed by the MD with Distinction possibility for research in the humanities. Only four people to a cadaver, a mix of clinicians and basic science PhDs teach the first two years, which I think is a plus.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I wish I had seen more on the tour-- we had to ask to see the anatomy labs after the tour was over. Also, I wish it was closer to NYC, but that's just the city-girl in me talking. Otherwise quite a beautiful area.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I left Stony Brook feeling as though it could be my first choice. The day was well-structured, not much waiting around like at SUNY Syracuse and Downstate. I got there at 10:30 interviewed at 10:45-12, ate lunch, and toured until about 1:30. Students dropped in to chat and very friendly, as were all the staff I met. SUNY SB benefits from being part of a large university.
