answered 30-50 i thought they would ask. Rehearsed the answers to top 10 i thought they would ask.

What impressed you positively?

Amazing staff and students, cool technology spec, focus on diversity of students and patients, changing the circular towards integrated exams. Studies have show integrated exams increase long term memory retention. (I think it will be really interesting to see the board scores of students that switched to the integrated exam model.)

What impressed you negatively?

high cost of out of state tuition.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you pick tampa location or fort lauderdale on your primary application, that is where you get accepted to. If you want to change campuses, you have to submit a change request form. If you pick 'no preference' then you get to choose your campus (pending theirs a spot when you put your deposit down).

What are your general comments?

really, really, amazing school. It felt really open to people of all backgrounds with a genuine interest in helping the underserved. The staff were amazing, and they I really liked all the students I interviewed with. I will likely be attending.
