✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, other mock interviews

What impressed you positively?

Students were emphatic about the possibilities available at the school, IF you're proactive. Quite a wealth of activities to be involved in.

What impressed you negatively?

I wish the school had spent less time 'dispelling myths' because honestly, *no one* believes that UF only trains researchers or that UF students are gunners or that UF students are arrogant. Consider this a public service announcement for people who are uninformed about the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The rooms were kind of cramped for 20 interviewees at a time.

What are your general comments?

The tour(s) weren't so bad as I was led to believe. I have to admit, from the SDN feedback I was expecting the worst. But it wasn't any worse than other schools I've visited. Maybe the tours were changed this year (???)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would be nice if we could sit in on a class :)
