What are your general comments?

"The usual suspects - school overview, tour, financial aid talk, interview (though not in that order). As I had heard before, the facilities at NYMC are very nice. The staff and all the faculty members that I met were very nice, as were the students. However, the students reminded me of the premeds who probably had decent credentials (bio major, hospital volunteer, a little research, etc.) but not a whole lot else. Bear in mind that I only met about a dozen of them, so maybe I got a bad sample. I left positively impressed by the experience because it beat my expectations." Report Response
