✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

This site, the school's site, talking to the med student I stayed with, going to the Equal Access clinic, sitting in on a class (the last two were with my student host, who was awesome).

What impressed you positively?

How proud and happy the students were, the usmle scores, the standarized patient program. I was also impressed by the faculty's research experience and the Neurology class I attended.

What impressed you negatively?

Gainesville. I thought it was interesting that there was no PBL at all, but I talked to one of the administrators about it and he convinced me.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had been more prepared for the conversational, open interview. I should have asked questions I already knew the answers to, because I didn't ask them enough questions.

What are your general comments?

I felt very good about myself and UF when I lef the interview. I came in with rather low expectations, but that changed in a hurry. I should have been a little more assertive in the interviews.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
