💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
all of the ones previously mentioned on this site
What was the most interesting question?
none, the questions were all from a standard list and my interviewer did not even show the coutesy of l;etting me respond before blasting me with the next question in an accusatory tone
How did you prepare for the interview?
The school's literature
What was the most difficult question?
all of the questions were asked in a manner that made me think the interviewer was annoyed that he had to be there and that he did not think much of the present application pool.
What impressed you positively?
nothing
What impressed you negatively?
the buildings are decripit; the staff represented were rude and very unwelcoming. A few of us were spoken to by some of the administrators there and were stunned at their poor attitude.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I should have heeded the comments on this website. Whereas, there are obviously some decent people at downstate, like everywhere else, the rotten apples far outweigh the good ones. Personally, if you have been accepted elsewhere, I would spare yourself the financial expense of visiting this school-- the broad spectrum of depts and persons I encountered were not indicative of a place that I would send a healthy person, never mind a sick one
