What impressed you positively?

"The school is small so students and faculty get a lot of close interaction. Everyone was very nice and neighborly, as expected from a small school." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"39,000 a year tuition, the school is not technologically friendly (no wireless, the auditorium is a bit old), Albany is a small city without much to do, they have this program that you apply for out of local high schools that guarntees you entry into Albany if you meet a minimum GPA so if you attend Albany 30 out of 130 of your classmates will be these younger students who've always been med school tracked and very click-ish. It was so cold early in the year, they made me wait a while between interviews, the students and the school kind of gives you a lower-tier back-up school kind of a feel... No one really impressed me. I didn't walk away feeling that this is a school I would want to choose if accepted somewhere else." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"Nothing." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"It felt a bit rushed and impersonal. A brief discussion about admissions and financial aid, followed by lunch and a tour by students. They then make you wait until your interviewer shows up and interviews you. You then wait again (I had to wait a while) so that another interviewer can come get you and interview you. Wasn't too impressive and they didn't seem to want to sell themselves too much like other schools I've seen." Report Response
