"I love this one... Interviewer: I noticed you got a lot of B's sophomore year, I assume the engineering courses you took are rigorous? Me: Yes, but in all honesty I should have worked harder. Interviewer: Well I'd imagine that your course load was very difficult at the time." Report Response | I was asked this question too

"I was pleasantly surprised with the school, after reading a lot of the negative feedback, I was very nervous about my interview. The campus is not spectacular, however the students seem very nice and the faculty seems very down to earth. As for the cadaver labs, I thought they were fine, I mean seriously, ITS A CADAVER LAB PEOPLE, not the Plaza Hotel." Report Response
"Nothing much, the neighborhood isnt the greatest, but it is what you would expect of any major city. " Report Response
"The nice people in admissions offer to hold on to your back pack while you go into the waiting room. Silly me, I left my IPod in my bag. You end up waiting a long time between interviews and tours and such. So bring some music and something to read." Report Response
"Overall I was impressed with the school. My interviewer did not follow the so called question sheet at all. I had all my answers prepared on what I was going to say about Downstate and why I wanted to go to Downstate. We actually barely talked about anything medically realted at all. In fact, he was more interested in why I chose to go to MIT rather than my interest in medicine. I think he was surprised with me because I did not fit the typical MIT stereotype. We also talked about our mutual interest in how engineers need a larger role in medicine as well as the prospects of Bioengineering at MIT. The interview was seriously a conversation about anything and everything. I tried to prepare, but my interviewer did not follow the standard format." Report Response
