How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, USF website. You really don't have to know that much background info. Just make you have rehearsed with somebody and that you can tell others why you entered medicine.

What impressed you positively?

Resources for students. Helpfulness of the admissions office. Overall family atmosphere.

What impressed you negatively?

Couldn't tour the anatomy lab. Physical Diagnosis lab was unavailable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Long day, so make sure you eat at the beginning and time your bathroom breaks accordingly.

What are your general comments?

USF is a really good school and surprised me with their level of excellence. Apparently the clinical experience you receive at the school is pretty much the best in the state and one of the most comprehensive in the nation. One 4th year student remarked that some USF students knew more clinical procedures than residents in some cases. Medical students seem to really enjoy the school and there are renovations currently in progress to improve the medical student lounge and computer labs. Just really a positive experience overall and this school moved up in my draft board.
