No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read over application, thought of answers to possible questions, looked at NYCOM website and catalog

What impressed you positively?

interviewers and students were very nice, well spoken and genuinely proud of school, the school's focus on improvement

What impressed you negatively?

the anatomy lab - bad ventilation as compared to other ones I've been in and several cadavers that were not being worked on were uncovered, large class size yet with a small campus, poor social life on campus, average passing grade on boards, it's been said but - small library

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the directions to the campus are a little ambiguous - leave extra time to get lost and/or hit traffic

What are your general comments?

Overall, I didn't get a positive view of the school, but I noticed that a lot of the people I interviewed with did like it. Because you have to wait in a room for 3 hours while you wait for everyone to be interviewed, the day drags on - try to get to know the other people there while you wait. The interviewers only look at your application for like 30 seconds before you walk in. The school seemed to me to be impersonal - everyone does their own thing.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
