How did you prepare for the interview?

Mellowed out and went a day early to catch the weather - printed out some bios of the research faculty I asked for, but basically just made sure I was in a good mood.

What impressed you positively?

The research faculty and labs are TOP NOTCH for neuroscience, esp paralysis work (Miami Project). The campus is beautiful, the hospital awesome, and the student's attitude as you would expect in a beach town.

What impressed you negatively?

High potential for superficiality.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They accept 68% of interviewees.

What are your general comments?

Wonderful. Ecstatic. Laden with alcohol (they threw a big party on the water).
