Summary of Experience:
As of 12/12/13 "not invited to interview"
While new, exciting research in my field is starting up, there are very few MSTP students and the MD students don't always get along with them. Not affordable to live near campus and most students are married. Very few MSTP students seemed to know each other, which showed lack of community.
Summary of Experience:
Loved the idea of the MSTP-specific curriculum and larger MSTP community. Not enthused about living in a glorified dorm room for 8 years and living on the outskirts of NYC.
Summary of Experience:
Withdrew: Very friendly admissions staff, faculty and students. Organized. Not much research in my field. Graded (A/B/C/D/F) curriculum, which I'm not fond of.
Summary of Experience:
SO EXCITED!!!! Fell in love with the program and the campus. Thrilled to have received an acceptance. This is where I will be attending!
