How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website, reading over all my application materials, MSAR, looking over some current events in medicine

What impressed you positively?

The students were very friendly and all were eager to tell about their experiences at FSU. The facilities are all brand new and the entire college is very technologically up to date. I also liked the patient interaction you get in the clinical learning center. The fact that the students really get to know the faculty was a plus side too.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that there is no teaching hospital and you end up picking from a lottery to find out where you are going for your 3rd and 4th years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I really should consider FSU as an option for medical school and not simply a back-up. I was very positively impressed.

What are your general comments?

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience at FSU COM. All the students, faculty, and staff seemed genuinely interested in us and did all they could to make us feel welcome. I found the interview process to be laid back and non-intimidating. I especially enjoyed being able to talk with the medical students. There were also plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
