No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

studentdoctor.net, practiced with husband, reviewed ENTIRE AMCAS and 2ndary application

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are GORGEOUS, students were a great mix of people, and several made a point of emphasizing the chose FSU over much more prestigious schools because of the fact that the professors are there to teach, and you are ensured time with doctors not residents during the 3rd & 4th year rotations.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really! The school is closer to central campus than I expected, they have a huge connection to technology, they are the most recently built school so they are MAJORLY hooked up and wireless. All of the money that would have gone into building an academic hospital has instead been poured into the students and the faculty so they don't have to spend their time finding grants to pay their salary and instead be what they should be -- teachers.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How easy the interview process was going to be.

What are your general comments?

Very laid back, just know your entire application, and review the questions that people have written down here and you should be ready for anything they can ask you.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
