What impressed you positively?

"amc is really dedicated to ethics-- they have an extremely progressive and enlightened ethics curriculum that very much impressed me. they also offer a masters in medical ethics, and you can complete the md/ ma in 5 years. also, the hospital services all of upstate new york as well as western mass. so the campus is certainly very busy. the students seem to have a lot of power, and the administration def. seems to cater to the needs of their students." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"albany is no destination resort-- it's pretty bleak. also, the campus and hospital look pretty old and run-down. even the students commented on the appearance of the school. the good news is that they are currently embarking on a 25-year remodel. the bad news is that they are in year 1 of that remodel." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"where to park." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"my first interviewer was almost caustic- i think we may have had some political differences, but i think it had more to do with him than the school, itself. my second interviewer was delightful. she was incredibly nice, and the interview itself was more of a conversation than a strict evaluation of my character and academic history. i found that, wrt to the ethics questions, there is no right answer. just make sure that you are able to argue your points well."
