What impressed you positively?

The faculty is awesome. They're all very nice and down to earth. The facilities are brand new, and they're very conducive to med students.

What impressed you negatively?

No teaching hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my interviewer was an Ohio State grad (and I'm a UF grad).

What are your general comments?

My experience was very positive. First we were greeted by med students. They were really helpful, answered a lot of questions, and they even gave us little bios about the people who were interviewing us. Then we had a short presentation, followed by interviews. Then we went on a tour of the school, the simulation center, and then to the hospital for lunch...ORDER THE MILKSHAKES--THEY'RE AWESOME. We had a short tour of the hospital and finished the day back at the school with closing remarks from one of the faculty. We had a small group interviewing, so it was a very meaningful experience.
