What was the most interesting question?

There were a couple of interesting ethics scenerio-type questions in my first interview, so they were kind of interesting (i've never had them before). But my second interviewer asked me who I wanted to win in the Democratic primaries and where I get my news from.

What was the most difficult question?

None too difficult really. Ethics questions which make you think and sometimes unsure of yourself - but there are no wrongs or rights, so...

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, my AMCAS application, but really just relax and have fun...this is an opportunity to get to know the school

What impressed you positively?

The students - took us out for a drink the night before, were really friendly and enthusiastic. The day was structured and pretty relaxed.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The tuition - I just couldn't understand why the school is so expensive - they're not really offering anything extraordinary (for that price). Also the location. It seemed dead, despite the fact that there are a couple of schools around the area. Need a car to get around.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

It was a positive experience overall. They tell you that Albany is known for ethics questions and it is true - at least in one interview I was asked a few ethics questions. My second iterview, we just talked about current affairs, Iraq and democracy...pretty interesting. I wasn't really impressed with the school itself to be honest, and I think my first interviewer must have sensed that...I quess that's why they put me on a waiting list.
