What are your general comments?
An interview at UF is not so much an evaluation of you but more UF wants to get an eyeball on you as a person. My interviewers were very relaxed and just wanted to get to know me. Basically if you have an interview with UF: Don't sweat it; UF already likes you otherwise you wouldn't be invited.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
See interesting question question. I was only asked this in one interview
What was the most interesting question?
Dr. Kevorkian recently came to UF. What is your position on euthenasia?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interview, list of common questions asked (none of which were asked)
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about yourself (hard to do this without just restating my personal statement)
What impressed you positively?
The students made UF sound like a very nurturing environment where the goal of the faculty is that everyone succeeds. I also like that the bar is not lowered if someone can't make, but that extra help is provided to those who want it.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
UF is very selective when it comes to interviews. My interview group was told that if UF invites you for an interview that they expect that you will get in other places. The way the numbers broke down that about 60-65% of the people interviewed eventually (after some candidates decline, etc.) received an acceptance.
