💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about yourself? The interviews are all closed file, so the interviewers know nothing about you. You've really got to sell yourself and essentially cover everything in AMCAS and any other info you want them to have.
Why Medicine?
Why USF?

What was the most interesting question?

The interviewers were given a sheet with standard questions they were expected to ask. Regardless, the conversations tended to be more open to other topics; typically, ''why medicine, and why USF''?

What was the most difficult question?

Name an ethical situation you could expect to encounter as a future physician, and how would you deal with it?

What impressed you positively?

Everyone is so suportive at USF. The faculty and administration will bend over backwards in order to help you succeed in the program. I was really impressed with the clinical facilities. There are numerous clinical and research opportunities in the area. All the students seemed to be very happy about attending USF.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. USF is a great school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To take some tylenol with me due to a headache; which I would imagine is quite common after interviews and hours of powerpoint.

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed my interview experience. If you have gotten this far you are essentially fully qualified to be a student, it really comes down to whether or not you fit with their program. The interviews overall are very laid back and unintimidating. If you relax, be yourself, and share your heart and desire you should be fine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The staff is very supportive and extremely nice. Perhaps the best administration staff I've met.
