How did you prepare for the interview?

this website, briefly looked at the USF website, thought about the most typical questions like "why do you want to be a doctor?"

What impressed you positively?

Moffit Cancer Center is really really nice, also the admissions staff was exceptionally inviting and friendly

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. Maybe the classrooms because they didn't look state-of-the-art but that's not really a major thing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews really aren't terribly challenging, but rather a nice conversation.

What are your general comments?

It was a good experience. The first interviewer was a 4th year med student and we had a very comfortable and laid back conversation ranging from my experiences in medicine to him going hiking soon. It was a good warmup for the second which was with a physician who is also the head of the admissions committee. He was much more serious and seemed extremely concerned with making sure that I had a good reason to want to become a doctor. When he presents me to the committee he said he wanted to be able to tell them something good about me, so it seemed like he really cared which was reassuring. When I asked about USF not being popular around the nation (unlike Harvard, Stanford, even UF, etc) he said that it's not so important and if you put in the effort you will succeed, and I believe him. So overall a great experience at USF today!
