"What did you learn about your [humanities major]? I wish I'd prepared more for this question because even though I thought I gave a pretty cogent answer, my interview literally asked this question of me two more times before the interview was over." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Read up on (the few available materials) on NYMC; read SDN interview feedback; kept up with health news" Report Response
"the pretty anatomy lab; the nationally-ranked children's hospital (I wandered there during my free time and a doctor saw me looking kinda lost so he took me on a tour of his floor!)" Report Response
"The tiny campus: it seemed like the campus only consisted of 4 main buildings (admin office med science building, hospital, children's hospital) and bunker-like student housing. Students at NYMC were nice enough but other students interviewing there gave off the distinct impression that they were just here because it was a backup." Report Response
"That everyone (students/faculty) would have no clue about what was happening with Touro. I understand that things are up in the air but I felt that they could have at least talked about it more transparently and let prospective students know how it might affect education/the vibe of NYMC." Report Response
"Pretty nice students and faculty, but the location and the vibe of the campus just didn't do it for me. This trip really exemplified why it's so important to visit a school not only to interview but to see if it feels right." Report Response

"Treat the applicants like they might actually matter. The front desk people didn't smile the day I was there and just gave me deadpan instructions once I arrived. It didn't really faze me but it did affect my impression of the school." Report Response
