What are your general comments?
I went into the day at UF feeling sure that I wanted to come here. However, by the end of the day I was not quite so impressed. When a prospective student interviews for medical school, he or she expects a reasonable amount of professionalism from the school and its faculty. I was shocked by the treatment I received but I believe my experience is probably the exception and not the rule. UF is a good school but at the end of the day it left me disappointed.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
None were very interesting. My first interviewer acted like he didn't want to be there and my second interview answered phone calls and cut me off in mid-sentence.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read studentdoctor.net, read up on health care issues, read a health care ethics book.
What was the most difficult question?
Why is your research so poorly designed? (It's not - it's being published later this year)
What impressed you positively?
The students seem to to enjoy being at the school, the facilites are quite good, and STAN was impressive.
What impressed you negatively?
My first interviewer. He was biased and unprofessional. He treated me like I had no business applying to medical school and belittled my research.

Nothing - I was already familiar with UF Med.
