How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked at this website, and the Mt. Sinai website.

What impressed you positively?

It was a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. It is a nice part of Manhattan. The curriculum is well balanced and integrated. The professors were knowledgable and the students were engaged.

What impressed you negatively?

The main dorm, Aron hall, is next to the train tracks. So it is a bit noisy. The hallways are also unkept and smelly. However, the apartment style housing is decent overall.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Dont listen to what the others say about 'down time' or waiting around. There was hardly any waiting around, and if you got hungry they had food. Yes by the end we were all exhausted, but thats because they had a lot to show us!

What are your general comments?

Mt. Sinai is an impressive school. They make the effort, it seems, to accomodate the students. There are numerous opportunities to get excellent clinical exposure, and the faculty are warm and intelligent. They also have a good financial aid package. Mt. Sinai is definitely one of my top considerations now.
