⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

It was an extremely positive experience. The interviewers were friendly and just trying to get to know us- not out to get us. Although 1 hour seems like a really long time to have an interview, the time flies by. In fact one of my interviews went over by 15 minutes and we did not even realize it!! Amazing school with clinical experiences from day 1 and top of the line technology.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about yourself.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read information provided on the UFCOM website. Read up on current issues. I am a UF undergrad so I really knew a whole lot about the school already.

What was the most difficult question?

What are your views on abortion?

What impressed you positively?

The students (all years) loved the school and had nothing negative to say about it. The admin staff was very warm and welcoming. Everyone went out of their way to make us feel at home and get us excited about being there. Additionally you will find out that first year clinical experience is really extensive. You are assigned a family and sent somewhere in the state to complete a preceptorship within your first semester!! Additionally they have STAN and the Harrell center which really help to develop great history taking, and patient skills.

What impressed you negatively?

The food was okay, but some people in our group did not like mayo and it was all over the good. I would suggest bringing a snack with you just in case.
