How did you prepare for the interview?

this site, reviewed my amcas application

What impressed you positively?

I was impressed by the breadth of clinical facilities and hiphop community health initiative in new brunswick, as well as the availability of rutgers facilities (gym, libraries). Apparently the piscataway campus has undergone renovation w/new classrooms, but we did not tour the campus

What impressed you negatively?

the fact that we only toured the clinical campus and not the basic science campus, and the fact that I was not able to ask any questions in my interview

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

take the train! the new brunswick train station is a few blocks from the interview site, so this was definitely an easy commute--apparently parking is pretty bad in N.B.

What are your general comments?

Overall, I had a good experience down at RWJMS. It seems like much funding has gone into both the basic science and clinical campuses, which I think will provide a good learning environment for 4 years. Students seem to enjoy themselves here, and seem to like block scheduling.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
