How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN. Tried to just relax.

What impressed you positively?

The admissions team was extremely friendly and inviting. They had snacks and drinks ready for us in the morning. The interviewers were very nice and seemed down-to-earth.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour of Shriner's Hospital seemed pretty useless. We got to visit the pediatric prosthetics department, but this is a very specialized area and probably only stuck the interest of a couple of the interviewees.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Suit + Late Summer in Florida = Lots of Sweating!

What are your general comments?

My first interview was a one-on-one interview with Dr. Specter. He was very kind and gave me the opportunity to tell him about myself before the official questions. He was very kind and relaxed, which enabled me to answer questions candidly and honestly without apparent judgement. The second interview was with Dr. Cutolo at the VA hospital across the street from the school. He was, again, very relaxed and nice. His questions pertained more to the medical field than did Dr. Specter's.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
