What are your general comments?
I arrived very nervous, but was soon put to ease by the extremely friendly students, staff and faculty. The other applicants and I went to dinner with the current students the night before the interviews. I learned a lot about the program and was really surprised at how laid back and HAPPY the students are. They love their school, which I think really says a lot. We then went to a student's apartment where they had set up a small party for us. The housing is great and more current students came by to say hello. I had 2 formal and 4 informal interviews the next day. They were all really low stress and comfortable. We never took a tour, but I wish we had. Overall, I had a great experience and was really impressed with the school and its learning environment. I give it two thumbs up!
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read the Einstein website, SDN, read a little about healthcare, read a lot about my research and looked into my interviewer's research as well.
What was the most difficult question?
Why do you want to talk with me? (we had chosen who we wanted to speak with based upon our research interests)
What impressed you positively?
The students were VERY happy and the faculty seemed very supportive. It seems like a great environment to be trained in. Also, the housing was great and really cheap.
What impressed you negatively?
The Bronx. Not so hot unless you like hanging out at "Oil and lube" and other auto parts places! I would have liked to walk around and explore (maybe I would have found things I liked about the Bronx), but it was way too cold to do so. We were not taken on a tour, which might have been helpful.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I really didn't have to be nervous. Everyone was very welcoming and extremely nice.
