"The school itself is nice, the hospital is the best around for miles. " Report Response
"The hostile interview, the weather, the waiting around in a room off-set from everywhere else, that my interviewers were late. One even said "I bet you would wait around all day for me." Is this guy for real?" Report Response
"The hospital and school are really hard to navigate. Leave early for your interview from the waiting room because they don't have anyone bring you or come get you and you may very possibly get very lost." Report Response
"I left Syracuse fuming. I got there at 8, they gave a short orientation and I sat around until 10. Then my first interviewer played "bad cop." He began by challenging my word usage all over my application, which was tedious. At one point in the interview I said "Me and my friend..." Big mistake. He chastised me and said "I guess this explains the terrible verbal score on the MCAT." My score is mediocre, but certainly not terrible. Then he lectured me for about 15 minutes, telling me I had better make sure I want to go to med school. We spoke for so long that I missed lunch and the real orientation, then I had to leave the tour early to go to my second interview. That interviewer was actually quite friendly-- good cop time. I left certain I didn't get, thinking 'for this, I flew from Cali?!?' I got in 3 weeks later anyway, so don't sweat it if your interview experience feels like hell on earth. Mine sure did.
