How do you think you would cope living somewhere so different from where you grew up?
Tell me about your family.
What extracurricular activities did you participate in during college.

What was the most interesting question?

Nothing in particular. Because my interviewer didn't get my file until I handed it to him, we talked about very basic things like where I went to school and what sorts of activities I did.

What was the most difficult question?

Again, we really just discussed very standard, neutral things.

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

Anatomy lab is new, large, and airy. Third and fourth year rotations can be done in NYC. (About half the class ends up moving out of Valhalla.)

What impressed you negatively?

The interview schedule was very disorderly and there was A LOT of waiting around. Granted, it wasn't the school's fault because the snow kept many of the interviewers from showing up on time or at all. I (and I'm sure some of the others in my interview group) felt a little abandoned and a lot bored. When I finally got to do my interview, my interviewer seemed very unengaged, stuck in a perfunctory task.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

NYMC is part of a Catholic tradition.

What are your general comments?

Day started at 8 with breakfast. Afterward, we had an hour long chat with a 4th year, waited around a lot, had a tour with two 1st years, lunch. Sadly, I was very eager to go when it finally came time.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
