What are your general comments?

"I had a good interview experience. I really liked my interviewer and it was very conversational. Since it is closed file however, I felt like I didn't get a chance to talk about some things as in depth as I would have liked. We spent part of the time just sorting out the list of activities that the interviewer receives prior to the interview. Also, once I got going on a topic, the interviewer would switch gears and ask a unrelated question, so it was kind of surprising (maybe they have a list of ques that they have to get through?) I also liked most of the other people I interviewed with. It was funny becuase almost all of us were from Cali, so we were all freezing during the tour. I think overall NYMC is a good school, if you can deal with where it is and not being able to escape campus. " Report Response
