I wasn't expecting this one as I am OOS. Very excited! I was very impressed by this school. Their $800 million hospital addition to their medical center places it on over many other medical schools when it comes to clinical experience for Medical students. I was also impressed by their focus in community service and work with the underserved. I would gladly attend if accepted. Cons. Preclinical grading system. Withdrew: NYU acceptance

Summary of Experience:
FIRST INTERVIEW!!!! OMG I am so happy! Great simulation center, Bellevue hosptal, VA, Manhattah. 1.5 yr preclinical, Pass/Fail. Curriculum very similar to Baylor, and classes are also recorded. not a big fan of the apartments, but great location, price, and lounge accessible to all medical students who live on and off campus. 3 year program!!! I loved this place. MMI is actually a lot of fun, and not worth the stress pre-interview. I really enjoyed it. Interviewed for 3YMD 3/18/2015. Rejected 4/24/2015. Financial package was not great. Withdrew.

Summary of Experience:
My first interview. One student and one faculty. Very conversational and really had a good time. The curriculum is very interesting, and the PBL session was definitely a great experience. I really liked the school and UPMC is hard to beat as medical center to train. -To keep in mind: Scholarly project is mandatory (gives a good edge by having research when applying to residency) Very affordable city Very thorough information sessions about school, curriculum, financial aid. I really liked it

Summary of Experience:
Very impressed by Cornell. NY-Presbyterian is amazing, loved the location, housing (for NYC standards), and the triple examination format. The interviewers were friendly (even during a stress interview), and felt very welcome throughout the day. All the students I had the chance to talk to were honestly interested in giving us their own view, and share their experiences at the school. I really hope they accept me as it became one of my favorite programs.
