"The students seemed to love the school. The anatomy lab is great (on the top floor of the medical education building, lots of light from skylights and a great ventilation system); everything is right there (medical center, education center, student housing); the student housing is cheap and very convenient; the area seems like a very nice suburban community; proximity to NYC; they offer a cheap dual MPH degree that you can complete within 4 years with the MD degree; medical spanish courses are available; " Report Response
"The medical center isn't as extensive as a lot of teaching hospitals at other medical schools; you need a car; there wasn't much to do in the area right around the medical school (but NYC is VERY close); the library isn't open 24/7 as they are at many other medical schools; it doesn't seem like there are many quality research opportunities at NYMC" Report Response
"I had heard negative things about the school and the surrounding area but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the facilities, the enthusiasm of the students, and the overall feel of the medical school. They boast a 99% pass rate on the step 1 USMLE which a lot of top-tier Ivy league schools and even UC's can't compete with. The average score on the USMLE is also well above the national average. They give you breakfast and a few people talk to you about financial aid and life at the medical school. Then you have a few hours of exploration time and one interview. Mine was with a professor. After the interview you have a tour with students and lunch. The day lasted from 8am-1pm." Report Response
