✅ 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?

Mock interviews with HPAC and a previous interview a month before

What impressed you positively?

Being around the students even after they had finished their exams for the semester--they were still very enthusiastic about medical school and attending UF. I'm interested in pursuing mission opportunities during and after medical school, so I was excited to find out the plentiful opportunities that exist through UF. Technology is pretty good too.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had brought a bottle of water with me and had eaten a larger breakfast. When they say, "lite-lunch," that's what they mean. Also, lunch is the only time they provide drinks. And, wear walking shoes!

What are your general comments?

If you end up having an interview with Dr. Paulus, be prepared to walk---really fast! Great Doc though
