"The school has a yearbook and a student literary magazine as well and a journal of student research publications. The school also has immense diversity within the student population (students from their Quebec program were there) and their patient population (apparently one of the hospitals third years rotate at is an entirely spanish speaking hospital). The school also pays for one night at a nice hotel (Aloft Harlem) and they will pick you up from the hotel the morning of the interview.

"Facilities" More from this Member | Report Response

"The cost of living in Manhattan." More from this Member | Report Response

"The facilities are not the most up to date. School seemed to be in an older building." More from this Member | Report Response

"The facility is a little run down and cramped. The students did not seem to really have anything super positive to say about the school and repeatedly mentioned how hard the curriculum was. Harlem is a little scary." More from this Member | Report Response

"That they were interrogating me a little about my grades and past performance" More from this Member | Report Response

"Terrible facility" More from this Member | Report Response

"The school is pretty cramped as it's all contained within one building. The facilities leave something to be desired. Two exam a week testing schedule for the entire first year." More from this Member | Report Response

"Cafeteria." More from this Member | Report Response

"I am not going to lie I do not like Harlem. The facilities are kind of old BUT they have renovated a lot in the past couple of years. This school has everything you need to learn and become a good student...but nothing more. Their GYM sucks big time!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Harlem. " More from this Member | Report Response

"No kosher food in 3 miles (I'll just bring lunch with me) Gym/weight room is not the best I have seen. These are minor things that do not matter. If you look at the big picture, your here to get a good education, not lift weights all day. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Harlem" More from this Member | Report Response

"Not really seeing the "crappy, old" facilities that everyone was talking about. (maybe a good thing- because the lab was being renovated) and I was being ignorant?" More from this Member | Report Response

"the competition and stress it seemed everyone was in" More from this Member | Report Response

"older facilities and a small building." More from this Member | Report Response

"Facility was a dump. You would think they would at least spend some money updating the appearance/outside of the school but it really looks like a depressing place. You could say that this is NYC and that makes it worthwhile, but still, the place looks terrible. Students bashed on other schools (it seems like Barry is their crappy half brother pod school who they rank on the most). The only positives I could get out of students was the location in new york city and busy clinic. " More from this Member | Report Response

"EVERYTHING besides the busy clinic" More from this Member | Report Response

"The school probably has the worst "campus" of the 8 podiatry schools. It is one run-down building and that's it. Basement anatomy lab and dorm-room sized gym. It is not located in a nice part of New York but neither is Columbia Med/Dental school either. Students did not seem very impressive and the large majority I met went to NYCPM just because its located in new york city. There is no true vision for the podiatry program unlike DMU and AZPOD. The school is independent and not affiliated with a university...same with OCPM. People can say they are affiliated with columbia and NYU but having a few teachers come to nycpm does not count. I mean TRUE affiliations like Temple University with Temple pod, des moines university with CPMS, scholl with rosalind franklin, etc. The president/CEO is just some old businessman with no relation to podiatry. Very few externships (just increased to 4 THIS year) and it seems they keep you working at the nycpm clinics for much of your clinical years. Overall, I think out of the schools I visited - all 8 - NYCPM was the least impressive. Only Barry came close to taking the cake." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing in particular..." More from this Member | Report Response

"the school is just one, pretty outdated building" More from this Member | Report Response

"The facilities are old and dumpy. Also the neighborhood is a little "ghetto"." More from this Member | Report Response

"Buildings were a bit old" More from this Member | Report Response

"Location. Facilities could've been better. " More from this Member | Report Response

"VERY POOR facilities - old and classrooms are all located in the basement of the building. No windows. Parking in less than safe neighborhood (i.e. old mattresses and tires piled 10 ft high in the corner of the parking lot). Tiny cafeteria and below standard "gym" " More from this Member | Report Response

"not really a negative, but cramped aging facilities, yet very functional" More from this Member | Report Response

"very cramped place and the building is ancient" More from this Member | Report Response

"During the campus tour, my guide ran into a student he knew. Just finishing an exam, the student said that he hadn't received a grade that low since kindergarten." More from this Member | Report Response

"they will ask about a low grade" More from this Member | Report Response

"They wouldn't take me bc low MCAT" More from this Member | Report Response

"I wish I knew that the interview was going to be right away in the morning. It didn't make much of a difference, but I would have been a little more mentally prepared. I was the first one in the group to be interviewed so when they said ok we're doing interviews now, I was surprised that they were happening so soon since I thought they would be happening a little later in the day after shadowing etc." More from this Member | Report Response

"That they take your picture for an ID, give you $10 voucher for lunch (oh, their cafeteria is delicious)." More from this Member | Report Response

"Not close to midtown" More from this Member | Report Response

"That they were going to ask so many questions about my grades and scores" More from this Member | Report Response

"There was a written essay at the beginning." More from this Member | Report Response

"I wish I would have relaxed a little more and packed more layers. NYC was freezing; my interview was the day after the massive snow storm that closed schools." More from this Member | Report Response

"poor facilities, not being able to see the lab being renovated, anatomy lab will be taken at a neighbor school (Touro?) for the time being, should've looked over NYCPM website more closely before interview" More from this Member | Report Response

"1. to wear flats and not high heels (ironically, the feet were hurting), the shiny floors were slippery and I was sliding all over the place. FYI: this is just a personal note, ladies please continue to dress appropriately for your interviews. 2. to shadow a little more in the field before my interview. that was the only thing I didn't have enough exposure to to be able to speak about. " More from this Member | Report Response

"that a med student was going to interview me in addition to a staff member" More from this Member | Report Response

"That they accept a ton of people who apply. This does not do much for the profession when other schools are striving to be great." More from this Member | Report Response

"the crappy old bulding and how bad the location is. i thought i was going to get shot." More from this Member | Report Response

"Nothing really, I did not expect too much going to NYCPM." More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Enrollment management was incredibly friendly." More from this Member | Report Response

"Interview went so-so, I had a better impression from one professor compared to the other so it’s very iffy" More from this Member | Report Response

"great school in terms of academics and reputation for placement, not exactly known for mental health and student support" More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall it was a very smooth process. The interview wasn’t intimidating and they give you a tour, some shadowing, and a free lunch. Don’t get too nervous, just focus on showing off your best “you”" More from this Member | Report Response

"Would go if I got accepted." More from this Member | Report Response

"N/A" More from this Member | Report Response

"Everyone at this school was so nice. I felt right at home and I was impressed by how kind everyone was and how the whole place felt like a big family. I was also pleased to learn from students that research is easy to get involved in if you make an effort." More from this Member | Report Response

"Be prepared to talk about your bad grades and have an ability to express how you would be able to handle living in the city." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall impressed. NYCPM has a really busy clinic, solid residency placement rates, and a great location." More from this Member | Report Response

"The day went by so fast! Everything was scheduled really tightly so I didn't get to speak with the students as much as I would have liked, but it was nice that everything was planned so well for us (I spent the day with two other applicants, although the interviews were individual)." More from this Member | Report Response

"There were two different interviews. One was with the head of admissions and a podiatrist and the other was with a student. The student was incredibly friendly and helpful!!!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Accepted here and most likely will be attending! :)" More from this Member | Report Response

"There seemed to be great emphasis on transitioning to new york and handling the stress of school. Those two things kept coming up in the interview and throughout the day. All the current students seemed very nice" More from this Member | Report Response

"It was a great interview experience; I hope to be admitted here to begin soon." More from this Member | Report Response

"If you are staying at Hotel Newton, be prepared to know that the room is really small. However, don't forget you are there for business (to get into this school), I utilized my night by going over practice questions and having an outline of points I would like to cover. You should go in with an open mind to this school because it's not about if the school accepts you as much as do you accept this career choice and what the school can provide you. It made the experience fun for me! Enjoy yourself." More from this Member | Report Response

"Good overall. Really helpful and kind staff." More from this Member | Report Response

"Great score would highly consider going there if accepted." More from this Member | Report Response

"overall, I'd go to this school if accepted." More from this Member | Report Response

"I was stunned by the clinic and by the students' enthusiasm about attending NYCPM. The students were honest and it didn't feel like they were trying to sell us the school. Sure the building isn't brand new and shiny, but to me that's not what matters. Ultimately, I want to go to a school that can provide me with a strong academic curriculum and sound clinical skills - I believe NYCPM will do that for me." More from this Member | Report Response

"I loved the school, and this is my number one choice." More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall I was impressed by the school. Also Harlem is not as bad as people make it out to be" More from this Member | Report Response

"Definitely more that meets the eye with this program. People are very genuine and supportive." More from this Member | Report Response

"Summary of the day: 1) Answer an EASY essay 2) Presentation on NYCPM 3) Faculty interview 4) Student interview 5) Tour of school and foot clinic 6) Lunch with first year students 7) Interview with Dean of Admissions" More from this Member | Report Response

"I was very impressed with this school, and I would like to go there." More from this Member | Report Response

"The day started with Mr Douglas McNabb introducing himself with a friendly smile. There was one other candidate interviewing with me. Then they called both of us in to two separate rooms to interview with a faculty member; next, each of us interviewed with a student ambassador. Then we toured the college together, including the clinic. Had lunch together, spoke a lot about everything. We then met with Mr McNabb again give us final comments and were on our way home after a long lasting day." More from this Member | Report Response

"interview = acceptance" More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, I was a little intimidated by the city at first. However, this diminished once I had the opportunity to talk to students attending NYCPM. I found that student, faculty, and staff were very enthusiastic about this institution. While the school is an older facility, the admission's staff informed me that the school is continuing to renovate various classrooms. Eventually the clinic will also be updated as well." More from this Member | Report Response

"4th years are hard to talk to for the moment, as they are preparing for exams and their own application process into residency programs; don't get turned off by their rushed manners. 3rd years are easier to talk to at this time. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Overall, no complaints. Nothing I haven't already known about the school facilities, staff, location, curriculum, etc. Everyone shared their perspective about NYCPM. It might be in a "scary ghetto" place, but I want a DPM from NYCPM, and nothing's going to stop me, if accepted." More from this Member | Report Response

"I think it is a good school. They don't have many full time faculty though but they are getting more. They get MD teachers to come over and teach, which is interesting." More from this Member | Report Response

"My first interview and glad it is done and over with. Only good thing is it prepared me for other school interviews. Really did not like NYCPM! The kicker was the acceptance letter which said "MACT" scores instead of "MCAT."" More from this Member | Report Response

"it looks like they accept way too many idiots. i talked to the students and they seem to know nothing about podiatry. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Very quick day which was a good thing (less than 3 hours). I was really glad to get out of that dump. I did not feel comfortable at NYCPM and could never see myself as a student there." More from this Member | Report Response

"Very positive, the students are all extremely nice, foot clinic is busy, not too long of a day, and I got the chance to learn a lot about the school. " More from this Member | Report Response

"it was a good day, not too long...spent a little time in the clinic downstairs, watched a video, faculty interview, student interview, ate lunch with some students, tour the building, wrap-up" More from this Member | Report Response

"After interviewing at other more modern schools, I would not have gone to NY if I had known the condition of the facilities" More from this Member | Report Response

"I enjoyed my interview experience and my time in NY. The buildings were definitely run down, but they are constantly updating their faciilities. Moreover when you look at the core of it, with their they are helping a population that would have otherwise been never reached. Interviewers were all very nice and laid back." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was quite good. It was kinda long. First, I had an interview with a faculty member. Then, I got to meet student president and had an interview with him. It was very relaxed though. After that, we went to clinic and shadow a podiatrist for a while. After that, we had lunch and met housing rep. I took a tour with a student right after that. Finished the whole process by seeing admission head. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Professional interviewers. Facilities stunk. :(" More from this Member | Report Response

"laid-back, informative, painless" More from this Member | Report Response

"You get interviewed by three people (a podiatrist, a faculty member, a 3rd year student). They all have the SAME list of questions that they are required to ask you. So you repeat your answers with each of them. Just be honest about it and it should be good. " More from this Member | Report Response

"I arrived early and so had breakfast with other interviewees. Then we watched a brief video about the school, and then I had an interview with a 3rd year student then the director of admissions. After that, I toured the on-site foot clinic, and was then showed around the campus by two students. We had lunch, and then I had another brief interview with another admissions counselor." More from this Member | Report Response

"The faculty, staff and students were very friendly. Lunch with the students was helpful. The commute to NY city and to Harlem is confusing if you're not familiar with it. There were 3 interviews, 2 by faculty and one student, followed by a tour and chance to shadow a student at the foot clinic. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The only positive aspects of this school were the diverse patient base and friendlyness of the students and staff. Everything else was dissapointing. I definitely could not see myself as a student there, but some people like it, so it depends upon you." More from this Member | Report Response

"3 Interviews: The 1st with a DPM (clinical), the 2nd with a phD (pre-clinical) and the last with a Junior or Senior student (only one if u're lucky... most of the time u have 3 of them interviewing you <based on student comments>)." More from this Member | Report Response

"It was more nerve-racking than I had thought it would be. Also more direct than I expected." More from this Member | Report Response
