What impressed you positively?

Facilities and medical students

What impressed you negatively?

My interviewer

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My application would not even be looked at by my interviewer until I was sitting there in their office.

What are your general comments?

The facilities are AMAZING, and during the first part of the day I was very impressed with all of the faculty and medical students I met. However, one of my interviews was quite bad. The interviewer had not read ANY of my application; in fact, I was stunned as I watched them casually peruse my application (and insult my choice of a major) and all of my letters of recommendation and actually stop the interview to check e-mail and talk to an assistant. I did not feel that the interviewer even really cared that I was there vying for a spot in the medical school class. It was as if I was inconveniencing them . . . which didn’t really impress me and make me want to attend FSU even though the students seemed happy and the facilities were amazing.
