How did you prepare for the interview?

studentdoctor.net, USF School of Medicine's website (but this was a little difficult to find), my application, speaking with my student host

What impressed you positively?

Mr. Larkin, the administrative staff, Tampa General, the clinical experiences, my student host. Most importantly, that you receive a response (acceptance, waitlist or rejection) within 10 days.

What impressed you negatively?

my medical student interviewer who was fixated on my age and how I would interact with younger classmates. The medical student had a more confrontational attitude (on this issue) than I expected and a negative tone (maybe it was because we were rushed). The yearly bugdet is higher than I thought it would be and financial aid is rather limited.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Overall, it was pretty low-stress. It was my first interview or I would have ranked it less than 5.
