💬 Interview Questions
What was the most interesting question?
Nothing very unique at all, just a lot of repeating my resume since it's closed file. Why do I want to be a doctor, volunteer experiences, clinical experiences, etc.
What was the most difficult question?
What do you know about the USF COM? I didn't give a very specific answer to this question, but the interviewer didn't seem to mind.

How did you prepare for the interview?
Student Doctor, looked over my responses to common interview questions, researched about the school on the website.
What impressed you positively?
Emphasis on clinical learning. Excellent program. Private hospital is gorgeous and busy.
What impressed you negatively?
I wasn't impressed with the attractiveness of the campus. It was okay... just nothing special. Reminded me of a community college in my hometown. Same opinion of Tampa. Yeah the water's cool, but not much else going on for it.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing, I felt prepared for this easy and relaxed interview.
What are your general comments?
Mr. Larkin even gave us a "treat" at the end of the day. Chocolate, yummy. Very relaxed day on the whole, though I think the stuff afer lunch is entirely unnecessary. If you want to fly or drive out early for whatever reason, don't hesitate to let your travel plans cut into the after lunch military and financial aid presentations.
