What are your general comments?
This has been my favorite interview experience of 4 that I have done. Though the day was long, it was also very fun and the people were friendly and welcoming. Robyn and Denise are awesome and Dr. Gessner does a good job of easing the tension with jokes. Rumor has it that the committee is obsessed with grades and scores, but the interview does a good job of making this seem untrue.

AMCAS, SDN, talked with students who previously interviewed at UF

Oh you have a sister? How come you didn´t mention that sooner? I guess you sometimes assume that your interviewers know more things about you than they really do.
What impressed you positively?
Almost everything, but particularly the students.

How much UF tries to recruit students from big name, ivy schools. It´s very discouraging because it seems that someone from Stanford or Duke is preferred over someone from Florida State based on that alone.
