"What are you looking for in a medical school? I wish I could think of more questions, but truthfully she didn't ask me much. We just talked." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Do you have any questions for me? She also told me to contact her at any time if I have questions, and she was awfully nice." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"We had an interesting discussion about poverty and obesity, and about Hurricane Katrina (aspects of poverty involved)." Report Response | I was asked this question too

"I read sdn feedback, glanced over my AMCAS and college research thesis, etc. Nothing major." Report Response
"The students were enthusiastic about the school. The first year lecture hall is awesome. Housing is inexpensive and fairly nice. A fourth year I talked to was very positive about the clinical education." Report Response
"No audio or visual of lectures available to students. Student-run transcript services seem dated to me at this point. The gym is tiny. The library is supposedly getting renovated at some point; now it's tiny." Report Response
"When people say to wear comfortable shoes, they mean it. You may have to do a bit of walking to get to your interview. Also, don't listen to people who say Einstein is in a horrible location. One direction from the school isn't exactly nice, but it's not bad, and not dangerous. The other way (towards the Jacobi area) is middle class brick homes, some of which are quite nice, with families and such. The closest grocery store is really ghetto though." Report Response
"I was prepared for the day from previous sdn feedback. I arrived for my 9 a.m. interview at about 8:40, but security wouldn't let me in the building (but today was the first interview day of the year, after all, and the guard didn't know). Three other people were waiting with me by the time they let us in, after 9. Then the very nice woman in the admissions office told me my interview was at Jacobi, which is about a 10 minute walk from the main school building. Thankfully she called the interviewer to let her know I was coming and why I was late. The interview itself was really cool. It was in the pediatric emergency department, which was neat. The admissions office hands you a sealed folder with your file in it and you hand this to the interviewer. So I sat out in the office with the ER secretaries for 30+ minutes while my interviewer read my file. That wasn't so bad though; at least she was paying attention! The interview was actually a conversation, not an interview. She didn't ask me any hard questions, or really many questions at all. We just talked. A guy who also interviewed today said that his interview was really tough and that his interviewer grilled him, though, so I'm sure it depends on how lucky you are with your interviewer. My interview lasted a really long time (over an hour), so I didn't have a chance to go to a first year lecture. I met up with my friend who is a student for lunch in the cafeteria, which they gave us a voucher for. Actually the wonderful admissions lady gave me an extra one for my husband, who came with me. I skipped the tour because I know the school, and visited with friends (in the housing and at Jacobi Hospital) instead. The tour doesn't show much anyway. Overall I think it was a good day, and I just hope my interviewer felt the same!" Report Response
