How did you prepare for the interview?

I stayed with friends who room with a 1st year and 2nd year.

What impressed you positively?

STAN and the weather.

What impressed you negatively?

Gainesville is not the place to get experience. And the students you meet do not tell the truth. I already knew some of the complaints med students have, and what some of them think about the place. But when I asked about those specifically the students acted like those problem did not exist. But one tour guide told us the truth, which, while nice to know, makes everyone else look bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The best way to get honest opinions is to talk to the friends of med students.

What are your general comments?

The interviews went well. The 4th year pretty much went through a list of questions. The MD and I talked about lawsuits, ice hockey, and other schools. The day starts at 9 and ends at 5:15. It's way too long.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
