How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, spoke to a few students from SOMA (on the pink sheet they mail you when invited for an interview)

What impressed you positively?

Awesome facilities, comradie among medical students, the curriculum, prep for boards,dual program,honest feedback (pros and cons)from MS1s and MS2s who werent just trying to sell their school, meeting with the DEAN at the end of the day

What impressed you negatively?

exhausting day... but comprehensive. third and fourth year rotations are all done in FL

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

long day. Most of us had flown in and didnt get much sleep the night before. So despite being antsy about the interview the next morning, get plenty of rest the night before!

What are your general comments?

I really didnt know what to expect at NSU-COM. But after having interviewed here, I think it's my first pick. Compared to the other places I interviewed at, I think I got the most out of this one because they were very informative of what to expect each year. As with most of us, our main concern is GETTING IN... but at NSU-COM I felt like I was given the equal opportunity to decide if this school matched what I was looking for.And at the end of the day, Dr. Silvagni met with the applicants and gave us a very inspiring talk about medicine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
