What are your general comments?
It was a really great interview day, and it was nice to be able to talk to so many students who were willing to talk candidly about the school. The interview was not stressful at all--interestingly the interviewers were an MD/MPH, MD, PhD, and DO. The facilities were really amazing, and it seems like their curriculum is very good. Overall great school!
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
You're from out-of-state; what attracted you to NSU-COM?
What was the most interesting question?
How has your interest in music influenced your life?
How did you prepare for the interview?
This website, school's website
What was the most difficult question?
What is the function of the Vpr gene in HIV? How many codons are there in HIV? (Don't freak out--this is related to my undergraduate research...apparently they had read over that part of my application very carefully! The question really took me by surprise!)
What impressed you positively?
The school has great facilities and a seemingly outstanding anatomy department. I think the best part of the interview day was how many students I met. They were at our breakfast, tour, lunch, and many just stopped by to talk to us while we were waiting around for our interviews!
What impressed you negatively?
NSU seems a little behind in the technology aspect. Most other schools I have visited require you to have a laptop and give you electronic information for class, and I like that. Also, there is very little research going on at this school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Attendance policy and dress code are not really enforced. Cost of living in Ft. Lauderdale is HIGH.
