✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

AMCAS, UM secondary, read a book on healthcare, HMO's, and reviewed my research.

What impressed you positively?

The medical center is located in downtown Miami, not in Coral Gables. So there is always something going on, culturally or medically. There are 7 hospitals at Jackson and it is the 2nd busiest medical center in America, so the amount of clinical exposure you will get is second to none.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. I got sweaty when I walked outside.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Relax! The only thing you have to worry about is not spilling the delicious food on your clothes. Interviewer was genuine and knew about me right when I entered the interview. It was conversational and I actually enjoyed talking. Just be honest and that will lead to a great interview.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
