How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the questions on SDN! ALL OF THEM... I got asked every ridiculous question in the book (by an MS4 nonetheless)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Both of my interviewers. Tremendously interesting people, and both were very good at actual interviewing. They had lists of questions, but it didn't feel like a quiz. Consequently, I felt very at ease throughout both of them.

What impressed you negatively?

Gainesville. While they try to debunk the "myth" that there is a great patient population in gainesville, you get the impression that the massive hospital system is kind of contrived- built for the academics, and not for the community. The clinical side made me nervous (and all that commuting to Jacksonville sounds annoying)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview would last the entire fall semester.

What are your general comments?

UF has a very collegiate feel to it (surprise surprise), and I had a hard time imagining being on a professional track there. Not like you can do tons of stuff outside of school, but you are very isolated out there. But, UF's facilities are great, the people seem to love it (a little too summer camp-y for me even), and they go the distance to get you to love it. My two interviewers were the major selling points. Both of them were people you would see as fantastic professional role models. I won't hold the fact that one of them made me explain Transcription and Translation against him.
