What are your general comments?

All in all this school really impressed me (aside from the food they served at lunch). The faculty seemed to really care about the students that were there. I also felt like the interviews were set up so that the students had a sense of genuine interest from the interviewers.

Interview questions they asked

You have done three years of pediatric research, why primary care medicine?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

What coping skills did you use to make it through the experience of breaking your neck?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Have you ever been in a heated argument with your research mentor? If so, explain the situation in detail and how did you handle it? Also, would you handle it the same now?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, secondary, and AMCAS essay

What impressed you positively?

They have a brand new school that they are moving into next month. The school is also very student oriented. I know students at several other colleges and I can not say that I have seen anything like the community attitude at FSU. I also was notified of my acceptance three business days later.

What impressed you negatively?

The school is still relatively new and the class size will be increasing over the next three or so years. They still have yet to obtain final and permanent accredidation.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The whole idea of working with a "proceptor". During your schooling you are paired with a proceptor, a physician in the community whose office you go to work and learn in. I had to kinda pick up the term as students spoke.
