What are your general comments?

My interviewer went through my file and told me what he thought my weaknesses were and we discussed them. It turned out that I neglected to include some important information in my AMCAS application. I have since sent the admissions staff an update; I am very grateful to my interviewer for helping me realize my error.

How did you prepare for the interview?

School's website, mailed materials. Also, I've been reading up on the Miami Project for a long time.

You are from New York and went to school up north. Miami seems a bit random. Why Miami?

The tour, info session, interview were all great. Everybody was nice and caring and the facilities were great. I came directly from another interview up north and it was like night and day.

What impressed you negatively?

I honestly can't think of anything.
