⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Negatively ☹️
What was the stress level of the interview?
4 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
A pretty mediocre school; the campus is nice but in the middle of nowhere, and there's no undergrad institution to add to the community. The interviewer seemed totally uninterested and said mm-hmm over and over, even in the middle of words (as if she wasn't listening)
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How did you decide to be a doctor?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Website! (as usual)
What was the most difficult question?
Why NYMC? (difficult because I'm not so interested in going there)
What impressed you positively?
That most students live on campus; the variety of clinical training sites; the facilities (brand new!); the campus is really beautiful
What impressed you negatively?
Dorms look very collegy, tour guides said they "never" went to class (literally), people didn't seem really pumped to be doctors, 2nd year curriculum has a lot of self-study which to me sounds like wasted tuition money; Valhalla really sucks
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Just how much down time there is (ugh)
