Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University

Negatively ☹️

2 out of 10

i hated everything about this school. the location is supposed to be in a nicer part of the bronx but when i got off the train my gut reaction was that i did not want to live there for 4 years. the school is in a very residential area with no restaurants/businesses around. i stayed with a student in the subsidized apts across the street. their rent is really cheap but the apts are really old and not very spacious. the school itself seemed very reserved. for most people i met the school was one of their last choices. the curriculum is very traditional and there is very little integration of topics. also, they do not have any real small-group learning sessions. coming from california, einstein is not worth the cross-country move for me. the interview itself lasted an hour and a half. my interviewer only asked me a few questions and spent the rest of the time talking about the school, which was informative, but i have no idea what she even got out of our interview.

what are your strengths/weaknesses

where the school is located. coming from california, i didn't know the distinction between different areas of new york city but the bronx sucks.
