How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Miami website..reviewing my application

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the students and faculty...the small class size (only 32 students), the nerderies, the simulation lab, the beautiful location/campus.

What impressed you negatively?

I was a little disappointed to hear the strong emphasis on geriatrics..but what can you expect in Boca Raton?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How long it would take me to drive from Miami to Boca...I got there an hour and a half early! But it was better than sitting in Miami morning rush hour.

What are your general comments?

We had a small group interview of 6 students from a variety of schools. Started out with a nice breakfast and a chat was some med students, followed by a presentation about UM and FAU by Dr. Markowitz and Dr. Rose (both very friendly). Then a presentation about the new curriculum. Had the interviews, followed by a tour of the school (very nice and new...I loved the nerdieries, the anatomy lab..etc). Then we went to the simulation lab which was absoultely amazing! Followed by lunch and a short tour of Boca Raton Community Hospital. We ended with closing remarks and a short evaluation. The day started at 9ish and lasted until 2:30ish.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
