"Routine questions for the most part. Nothing overt like "where else have you applied/interviewed--although a couple of the other interviewees were asked these questions" but more roundabout ways of asking "Why Upstate", "why medicine", and "do you know what you're getting yourself into"." Report Response | I was asked this question too

"West/northwest portions of Syracuse." Report Response
"That the good neighborhoods are either to the east or extreme north/northwest (in the suburbs)." Report Response
"I drove around the city a little to try and get a feel for it. I wasn't impressed with the neighborhoods (to the west/north of campus) I saw, they were mostly commercial/industrial. I couldn't find the residential. I found out at my interview that the faculty live to the east and those students who live off campus tend to live in the northern/western suburbs (my drive kept me within Syracuse proper). The library was new, well-lit and spacious. It had a really calming feel to it, although the hours weren't as long as some med school libraries I've seen. The gross lab was the most spacious and well-lit one I've come across. It looked completely new. The pedi hospital would be available in time for 3rd year clerkships. Overall, I was not that impressed with the city but the facilities seemed good enough. They only have 4 major hospitals (University, Crouse (sp?), VA, St Josephs) but do have a pretty large catchment area comprising much of central NY (I suppose between Rochester and Albany)."
