"the students seemed GENUINELY happy there--not like at other schools where you can tell they are faking it. The location is terrific, and the housing is awesome. It's ridiculously cheap to live there, and the apartments are pretty nice. They give you lots of free time, at least in the first year, so students have a life, and they have a lot of resources to help you have a life for cheap. You can see Central Park and downtown from their labs, which was kind of cool." Report Response
"They have pass-fail grading, so your whole residency match depends on how you do your third year. I personally prefer honors-pass-fail so that the first two years aren't totally meaningless for your future. " Report Response
"They want you to be there at 8:15, but the interviews don't start until about 10, so you have lots of free time. Either bring something to do or go observe a class." Report Response
"The interviews weren't too bad, but I've had better. The school itself is awesome-I loved it. New York City rocks, and they seem to give you all the benefits of the city without the drawbacks." Report Response
