"Which cohort/group of people are the least medically insured?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why do you think more people are coming into your hospital (we were discussing that I worked in a Emergency Department)?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Why New York?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What do you think about wine? (This one caught me off guard. I work as a server but we hadn't discussed that aspect of my life yet. We talked about wine for ten minutes. Still not sure if that was beneficial...)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"None of the questions were difficult. The most stressful part was the whole "good cop-bad cop" interview style. In the first 20 minutes I could barely finish a statement. I was constantly interrupted and talked around in circles. This was my first interview and I was a bit nervous but the "stress interview" style really didn't win me over." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Read school website, reviewed my application(s), SDN, other research on up to date topics" Report Response
"I love NYC and to be frank was more excited about visiting the area than the school. I knew what it was going to be like but I was hoping to discover something new or interesting about the school. The anatomy lab was very nice and didn't stink." Report Response
"The level of professionalism (except the Dean who was very thoughtful and funny) of the Admission staff and the school in general. We didn't get to talk to any students (I know the interview was during their break but I felt they were being deceptive since we didn't get the student perspective). They didn't have a lot of information about the school to hand out. Also the lunch was obviously take out from across the street. And it was gross. Haha!" Report Response
"I wish I knew that the interview was going to be more stressful." Report Response
"Blah. This school just didn't do it for me. I really want to live in NYC at some point, but I realized how big of a mistake it would be to live in an expensive city during medical school. Besides, I want to be competitive for a good residency so I don't think this school will make me look stronger." Report Response

"Please don't have a 30 minute lecture on how to impress the interviewers. We are pre-medical students and we know about the importance of having a great impression on them. Also, I think it would be best if interviews were open file. If the interviews are going to be "good cop, bad cop" style it would be beneficial to both interviewer and interviewee to have an open file interview. This way, any concerns or questions about our application can be addressed." Report Response
