How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN. Read the UMiami @ FAU website. Reviewed my AMCAS and secondary.

What impressed you positively?

I loved the class size. The students were very warm and intelligent. My interviewer was outstanding. He knew my file inside and out. Because this is the first year in which the clinical years will be spent in Boca Raton, there are great opportunities to take on responsibility, both in the clinical and the pre-clinical years. Boca Raton is beautiful and the campus is literally 5 minutes from the beach.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I never realized that the hospitals in Boca do not currently have residents (i.e. the hospitals are not yet "teaching hospitals").

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed my interview at the FAU campus of the University of Miami. The program only takes a small number of students, and everyone seems to get along well. The opportunities for students seem excellent, as they are the "only show in town". The Simulation Center is outstanding. Overall, UMiami @ FAU has a nice academic atmosphere in a beautiful location.
