What are your general comments?

Awesome! Everyone seemed so nice and caring. The first years were genuinely happy, even though they had their final in a few days. The faculty seemed to be willing to do just about anything so the students succeed. I found out that UF was the type of school I was looking for.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why are you interested in Medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

What nonacademic accomplishment are you most proud of?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I had an interview before this, so I took my experiences from the first interview to help me prepare.

What was the most difficult question?

If you need to deal with people that are uncooperative or hostile, how will you do that?

What impressed you positively?

The tour of the hospital. I loved the pediatrics ward.

What impressed you negatively?

Not really anything. I asked the students what the bad things about going to the school were and they couldn't answer the question, so that made me wonder if they were hiding something, but I doubt it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There were considerably more women than men at the interview. I am not sure if being female will hurt my chances for acceptance. I would like to know if there are many more females that applied than males this year.
