How did you prepare for the interview?
Read through interview feedback, talked with USF students about their experiences, reviewed medical issues (not necessary for these interviews).
What impressed you positively?
Students and staff were very friendly.
What impressed you negatively?
The campus isn't very pretty and the facilities aren't the best. The school is in a pretty unexciting part of Tampa, so a lot of students live about 20 minutes away.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Allow more time than you need to get there because the traffic is horrendous.
What are your general comments?
The interview process was pretty laid back. We took a tour of Shriner's Hopsital. It was interesting, but some of the other interviewees complained that the tour focused too much on certain aspects of the hospital. There are a lot of interviewers; you could get matched up with MD's, PhD's or med students. If you don't like one of your interviews, you can ask for another.
