"Browsed the NYMC website" Report Response
"Anatomy lab, children's hospital. Also the match list was very impressive" Report Response
"Actually a bit. It is a very on-your-own day, meaning that if your interview is at 9:45am (as mine was), you are free from 10:30-12/12:30 to do ___. Another interviewer & I walked around the children's hospital and generally just explored. It was kind of weird how they had nothing that we could do. Also, a lot of the students live in dorms (or close to it) on-campus which kind of weirded me out. Finally, it seemed like it was a safety school for most people- they nearly admit to this by not only interviewing well into the 1,000s of applicants but also by saying something to the effect of ''40% of our students had another choice & chose to come here''. Obviously then 60% did not... Finally, they do ''a lot'' of MD shadowing, which actually amounts to 1 day a month or something nearly as ridiculously infrequent." Report Response
"Location & the fact that so many of the students both live on campus & commute to their rotations as far away as hours..." Report Response
"Got there at 7:45am. Waited 20 minutes til the staff actually showed up to unlock the doors. Sat in a room until like 8:45 and had a 45 schpeel, touching on some info about NYMC. Interview for 45 mins with awesome/nice Prof. ~90 mins-2hrs to waste by just meandering. Tour by 2 students of the school, followed by lunch. Good thing is you're done by like 1:30!" Report Response
