SDN & reviewed my application

What impressed you positively?

Everything! The students were enthusiastic, the faculty and staff were dedicated to the students, the facilities are great and everyone was super-friendly. I had a great visit and could go on and on about how much I loved this program.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much really except that Gainesville is a lot smaller than what I am used to.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew how friendly and fun the medical student were -- I would have opted to stay with one of them.

What are your general comments?

The interview is 9am-5pm. There are a number of tours and presentations. Everyone at UF COM is friendly and puts you at ease as soon as you get there. The actual interviews were conversational and the interviewers were very pleasant. Before the interview I was aware that UF had a good reputation, but now I realize what an incredible program it is and I completely understand how it earned that reputation.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
