💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

both interviews were weird...one guy was just really distracted and asked really basic questions that he could have figured out from actually reading my file closely.
the moral of the story is be prepared to ask questions!
the other guy asked me NO questions. the first thing he did was offer me some cashews and then ask me if i had any questions for him.

What impressed you positively?

the facilities are great! the students were awesome and very peppy considering that they were in teh middle of a day of class.

What impressed you negatively?

they had nearly 30 med students come in and field questions during lunch--almost all of them were from UF undergrad. Nearly 70% of the class is from UF...maybe not so good if youre from another school (like me).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

there are TWO interviews, each of them is one hour long! this is probably some of teh longest interviews you will find, but they are relatively low stress. ALSO--they place nearly everyone on a "hold list" following the interview. it isnt a wait list, but you wont find out anything for a while.

What are your general comments?

the day is pretty informal and not rigidly structured. the admin staff does not make you sit through presentation after boring presentation (as they do in some places); its justa brief morning fin aid session and then the director talks. after that they pretty much cut you loose and you talk to students, eat lunch, and find you interviewer's office (they give you directions). the day will depend on who you get, but nobody got anybody really bad the day i was there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
