"Read about the program, SDN" Report Response
"The city is great and the housing was really convenient." Report Response
"Students and faculty didn't seem to have anything really positive to say except that "it's in NY." The interviewer was almost verbally abusive, and I was expecting a conversational interview after reading feedback online at SDN." Report Response
"The interviewer told me that with my grades and MCAT scores (3.6 and 30R) I should take a Kaplan course and prepare to retake the MCAT and reapply next year. He seemed to think it unlikely that I would get in at any school that I've applied to. I was confused because I thought they screened applications before offering interviews. I didn't feel that I really had the opportunity to make a case for myself in spite of his obvious concerns about me, because he got paged <10min into the interview and had to leave. After the interview, I talked to the admissions people about my experience, and they were very helpful and accomodating. They arranged a second interview for me with anothter faculty member, and it was much better. Still my overall impression of the program fell way below my expectations." Report Response
