Just be yourself and you'll be fine. The interviewers were both pretty nice, and each have their own way of questioning you. The first interview was done almost entirely open file, while the second interviewer barely looked at my file.

How did you prepare for the interview?

mostly SDN

What impressed you positively?

STAN was really cool. The scores on the USMLE were equally impressive Although a little too long, the day was pretty laid back.

What impressed you negatively?

I was hoping to see more of SHANDS, but by the time we had the tour of the hospital, it was already 4, and everyone was dead tired. All I remember from the tour were the NICU and pediatrics floors and seeing lots of babies. The entire interview lasts from 9 to 5:30, and some of the interviews can be quite far away, so wear comfortable shoes. Also, remember to EAT Breakfast!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Be sure to go over your essays and personal statement. Also, UF tends to match you with interviewers in your field. Both of my interviewers were heavy into research.
