How did you prepare for the interview?

Enjoyed the South Florida nightlife (along Ft. Lauderdale beach), read posts like these, browsed their website, and asked many questions of the tourguides prior to my interview (Why did you come here? Tell me what the first year was like? etc.)

What impressed you positively?

The library, my interviewers, and the vice-dean.

What impressed you negatively?

It felt too big. The med students seemed to get lost amid their hundreds of classmates and the dental students with whom they share gigantic lectures.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The "Harvey" cardiac simulator is a much more impressive tool than it looks on the website. I should have mentioned it in my 'why I would choose NSU' answer.

What are your general comments?

I am someone looking for the best medical education, not nice weather (which seems to draw most to Nova). In that regard, Nova seemed adequate. The facilities were nice, but I did hear from current students that several of the Profs don't speak English clearly. This is a HUGE problem for me. The interview day was punctuated by an army recruiter who spoke to a quite captive audience for some 20 minutes. Highly unprofessional and rude, in my opinion. All faculty members did, however, impress me greatly.
