No responses

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read studentdoctor.net, read up on health care issues, read a health care ethics book.

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.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing - I was already familiar with UF Med.

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.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
