What impressed you negatively?

"Albany is dreary. The school isn't really a school; it's 2 lecture halls inside a hospital. The students may actually be too laid back (hard to imagine). The total lack of diversity outside the student body was kinda creepy. The whole day was very unorganized. My first interviewer. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"This was definitely the worst interview experience I have had. My first interviewer did not show up and I waited in the waiting room for an hour. No one came out of the office to tell me that he had cancelled. I was still waiting for a first interview while others were shuffling off to their 2nd. When they did get someone, he ripped me apart. Nothing I said sat well with him and I could not get specific enough with my answers, no matter how hard I tried. He told me to go back and re-check all my sources with regards to my anwers about the healthcare system. They specifically told us that they do not do stress interviews, and this was clearly one! My second interviewer was just plain boring. No fun at all. I won't be attending Albany Med, even if they accept me." Report Response
