What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

"Overall, I was impressed with the school. After the experience, I feel like NYMC gets an unfairly bad rep from some people. The interviewer was a PhD who asked interesting questions and seemed like he really wanted to get to know me. I left with the feeling that I'd get a good education here. That being said, the students were definitely more stressed out than in other places and the place is really out in the country side. You can spend the last two years in New York City for the clinical rotations, so its not that bad. I can see myself going here." Report Response
