No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read this website, went over FSU COM's website, wrote down a couple questions to ask the interviewer in case they wanted me to ask them questions, and I reread my AMCAS application.

What impressed you positively?

The school is very new, so all of their resources are state-of-the-art. They are the first medical school to be built since the advent of the internet, so their entire curriculum is very internet-based.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Park in the parking garage.

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview, and it was a great first interview to have. The faculty was very nice, and the students came and ate lunch with us, even though they had exams that day. I think that once FSU COM has been around for a few years, it will move to the forefront of medical schools, because of its adaptability. The interviews were very conversational. I didn't feel pressured at all to answer with the &quot;correct&quot; answer on anything I was asked.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
