What impressed you positively?

"The people in NY (or at least at AMC) were *so* nice. Coming from the west coast I expected them to be a bit more reserved, but everyone was really laid back. The students were more than willing to discuss their experiences and thoughts of the school. While I was waiting for my cab at the end of the day, a 4th year student on his way to class saw I had just finished up. He came and asked me how it went, if I had any questions, shared his experience, etc. The other applicants were really friendly as well." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Albany is bitterly cold. I was told that this winter was particularly harsh though. The facilites were pretty old, but most schools' are. One student talked about some areas that have traditionally been problem spots on the Boards. Oh, and the price ($39K/year for 2003-04)." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"How cold it would be with wind chill factored in. The cost - I knew it was expensive, but I guess due to the poor economy, tuition for next year is being bumped up 9-10%." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"I'm the type that can get really stressed over interviews, but this really was a great experience. The interviewers were very personable and easy to talk to, and they didn't grill me on any of my views (I made sure my views/arguments were well defended though). I walked out of the interview thinking that it went well, but unsure of how I did in relation to the others. (Nearly every other applicant said that they had smooth interviews too.) I found out just the other day though that I got in, so I guess it was better than I thought. " Report Response
