I am invited for an interview at SUNY soon (for Fall, 2010 admission), which is very exciting! But I have heard that it's challenging and stressful comparing to other schools... Can anyone, who experienced it, tell me what makes it challenging? What should I expect?
I would like to know more about SUNY from a student point of view. I have heard that there are research opportunities (what kind? for whom?), and there is Lasik clinic in the school (wow! what can optometry students do there?), and SUNY has a high percentage of students passing the Board Exam (what is it?). Please, tell me about SUNY... it might be home away from home for the next 4 years, and I want to know what I am getting into to...
I love New York, by the way. I used to live there, 98-01, before moving to Denver, CO.

In case you haven't seen it, that should help a little for the interview preparation.
It is more difficult because the interview is in a panel, so the questions come at you at a faster pace. They also tend to have the most questions about current news/being updated with current events, which is why preparation is important so you don't stumble.
Good luck and congrats on the early interview (very good sign)!

SUNY has a tough program, but you can definitely get through it if you put the time/effort in. When I say tough, I mean studying every day, with maybe taking a night or two off each week when you don't have exams coming up. I don't know the difficulties of other schools, but I don't think SUNY could be much harder realistically...or could it? They just changed the curriculum and are revising it again, so you're in a good position to start at SUNY.
