Icahn School of Medicine

That nearly everyone interviewing at this school attended an Ivy league/super prestigious school for undergrad.

In the student Q&A they said the financial aid office is very difficult to work with.

Extremely affordable rent for Manhattan in student housing. Emphasis on advocacy and fostering environment of change-makers. Everyone was very friendly and supportive.

Sinai should drop the elitism attitude. They need to also fire misogynistic men who question whether or not a student can handle the time commitment due to their gender. I do not recommend this school based on the toxic admissions committee.

They do not read your application. The interviewers on the admissions committee project their feelings about their job onto you.

They had a very big bias favoring Ivy League applicants and I was asked why they should choose me (someone not from an Ivy).

I talked with students and faculty there

How welcoming the students and faculty seemed, everyone seemed to be very happy to be at Sinai and well taken care of.

Learned more about Sinai programs, practiced aloud myself and with my friends

Amazing school, hope I get in since it's my top choice

Don't get there early. I got there 30 minutes early and there were no admissions faculty in the office. Also the room that it's in starts with a 13 which means it's on the 13th floor, and there are 3 different sets of elevators to take you to different floors. Also it is in the hospital so everyone has somewhere to be, so try not to get in anyones way on the way there.

Nothing

Literally everything. The student body is very chill, the hospital is huge and impressive, the interviewers read my file in depth and asked specific questions, the housing is cheap and very nice, the area is safe but also close enough to East Harlem so you get a wide variety of patients at Mount Sinai and the affiliates.

Looked at questions on SDN and used what I knew about getting into two schools previously about what I knew worked or didn't work at an interview.

Incredible place

Students, faculty, amazing atmosphere

Practice, SDN threads

Great interview experience! Even if I don't get in, it was a great visit.

Wear good shoes because it's a LOT of walking back and forth.

Not much
