Hi! so SUNY Poly is one of the smaller schools like elf I believe which recommends about 20-25 ppl for the interview process. For interviewing here are a couple tips from a previous answer:
"Hello and congratulations to your daughter for securing her BSMD seat with Upstate!!!
My college is going fantastic so far! It was a little challenging in the beginning since it was so different from high school, but once I was on my rhythm I was able to cruise through all my courses.
In terms of interviewing, I would again say that big things that helped me was practicing with my family members since they are all in the medical field, and also with other of my contacts such as my dad’s radiologist friend who conducts interviews for incoming residents. They can give the best tips as they are the ones who assess and choose candiates for these types of interviews. I also looked at online videos such as ones from Ali Abdaal for sample questions. I can tell you that some of the questions they asked me were the basic why I want to go to the medical field? What is the thing you are looking the most forward too? why upstate? (for this question I looked at the online website fro upstate and picked out specific labs for research which I said I would like to join as well as other stats they have such as a 5 million dollar surgery simulation center) What am I not looking forward to in the medical field? etc. It is vital to practice for these questions with trained people and/or online videos since there are red flag answers which you want to avoid.
Hope this helps and good luck! Let me know what undergrad institution she is getting interviewed from too!"
