What impressed you positively?

"Bellevue. New York City. The students seemed to really like NYU, and the school throws a lot of money at them to do just about anything, from research to travel to throwing open bar parties after tests. I was impressed by the interviewer's knowledge of a high level of detail in my file." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"I really did not like NYU. I won't rant on about it, because I think it was just a gut feeling about the school all around. When asked why the students like NYU, almost all of them talked about how unstressed they are and how much they get to party, which is nice, but it gave me the impression that the students use the P/F system to party it up. I was not impressed by the facilities or the dorm, or the somewhat confrontational attitude of my interviewer." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That I don't want to go there. It's a good school, but not for me. If you want to live in NYC, get a good education, and party it up while you're in med school, this is your place. " Report Response
