What was the most difficult question?

I see that you love working with children and have an interest in pediatrics... so why medicine as opposed to teaching? (They also drilled me A LOT about my personal application and specifics about patients I worked with, etc.)

What impressed you positively?

Excellent, brand new facilities. The tablet laptop and PDA you receive at orientation are a nice plus. Also, from what I understood, the professors are all full-time faculty and do not practice in addition to teaching. It is nice to have instructors that are 100% dedicated to your education.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

I do a great deal of my studying in libraries, and I was very unimpressed with the one at the med school... however, I'm sure med school students also have access to the main FSU library. I was also disappointed in the lack of a teaching hospital nearby.
