What impressed you positively?

The students are so nice and chill, it's amazing. They're all obviously brilliant, but largely avoid the stereotypes of being neurotic and/or socially inept. They also wine and dine you, even though it's just the interview, not the revisit. Interviews were pretty laid back, though they varied widely based on interviewer.

What impressed you negatively?

Um, nothing? The location's awesome (if you like NY), the people are great, and the program is extremely well organized. Oh, maybe the first-year housing? It's a dorm (you share a bathroom with 1 person, you share a kitchen with your whole floor of ~20 people), but it's also reeeally cheap for the Upper East Side.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Parking is INSANELY expensive. Park somewhere else (anywhere else, lower east side for example) or take the train in so you don't have to pay $40 a day (it's only $25 a day at the Helmsley garage, so try to find that if you'll be staying over and you refuse to park far away and take the subway up).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Five interviews is intense, but they're each only 30 minutes, and they're pretty laid back. The Medical College interview varies widely based on interviewer, but it's the most random
