How did you prepare for the interview?

Read-up on current medical ethics issues in the news, reviewed common ethics terms on the Wash U website, SDN, etc. Be very familiar with health care issues, and different ethical scenarios. I didn't get too many but other people interviewing with me said they got bombarded with these types of questions.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone is super relaxed. I dont know if that's because there are so many California kids or what, but everyone seemed very calm. Also, a lot of alumns come back to Albany to teach or practice which is a real testament to the school. It really is like a small family. i also liked their curriculum and that Anatomy is one full year.

What impressed you negatively?

Albany is cold. The building seems old on the inside. AMC is kind of old-fashioned in that nothing is done digitally and you can't get the lectures online or anything like that. Most students said they didn't even own their own computer.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I thought AMC was a great school for the right person. If you are looking for primary care, with low stress, and a very supportive faculty and student-body, this is your school. If you want something a little more fast-paced and research oriented, you might not like AMC. I thought it was a truly unique and special place. I would definitely be happy going there and Albany is a very nice, friendly, safe place to live as a student.
