What impressed you positively?

"The students who gave the tour were in LOVE with NYU. They feel hugely supported by the administration, and feel that the administration is there to catch them when they stumble, and that the administration is working to keep them from getting too stressed out. They are really happy and enthusiastic. Also, Bellevue is a nice hospital (although they maybe only showed us the nice parts)." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"1) Student housing is cheap for Manhattan, but the quality of the dorm is lower than the quality of my freshman dorm in college. Teensy crappy room, single bed, no carpet, one desk, no pets. 2) my interviewer was very stern and unfriendly." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I suspected that NYU had a young class (I'm a non-trad) when they though it was ''odd'' that I asked them ahead of time for the name of an older student I could meet with (they were unable to supply a name). Sure enough, my tourguides confirmed that there are only a handful of people in their 30's, but they also said that age doesn't seem to be an issue for those who are older, and everyone is very supportive and full of cameraderie." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"There was one interviewer (stern, unfriendly, young woman doctor) and one observer (40's, male, warm and friendly). The observer wasn't supposed to be involved, apparently, but he did ask several friendly questions and engaged with me in a conversation about my career goal, which was also his field. I was extremely nervous because this was not only my very first interview, but it was also a school I'm very interested in -- I would have preferred that my first interview was a throwaway. So my stress level was very high, and the sternness of the interviewer didn't help. I found the interview slightly more confrontational than conversational, although it was blessedly brief."
