How did you prepare for the interview?

Went to UMiami's website, looked at question here

What impressed you positively?

Students looked very happy and everyone was trying to sell the school in a good way... not that they needed to ... school has a good mix of clinical and research experiences .... and during lunch the students discussed bith psitive and negatives of the school, which was nice for a change.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't experience it but I heard that Miami's traffic is horrible.. but I knew that going into the interview

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Curriculum is Pass/Fail but the transcript will still show your score with class averages on there for each class. And you will need a car to stay in miami... there is good public transportation but still

What are your general comments?

What impressed me most was that how organized the interview day was...everything started and fiished on time, as promised. Dr. Hinkley was the most laid back admissions dean I have seen so far, he made the process very simple and enjoyable. He explained how the whole process works and touched upon the most prominent aspects of the program and the new one at FAU. The day started at 9 AM and we were done by about 2PM. Tour guides took us to most places on the campus and lunch was good. Atlast something other than the cold sandwiches.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
