What was the most interesting question?

If you had a time capsule and could meet any person in history who would it be? and Why? I had seen this question on SDN before and always forgot to think of an answer so I was very unprepared for it. In the end I said the inventor of plastic ( yes the material we use on a daily basis) . WE ALL laughed and I got in so that very "left-field" answer didn't hurt me.

What was the most difficult question?

Do you have any questions for us? I couldn't think of any because the school did a wonderful job of answering them all!

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over my ps and related items, relaxed

What impressed you positively?

The PBL structure. I was a little worried at first that it was going to be hard to commit to, but then I realized most medical schools ( INCLUDING University of Florida medical school are moving towards PBL) I realized it must be great! PLUS, the test scores were high and the school was brand new and everyone seemed nice. BEWARE however, if you are the type of person who doesn't motivate easily, this program may not work for you.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much...maybe the immediate area, it is nice but very small town suburb. But you are really close to Sarasota and Tampa so good location

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How long the day was going to be. Whewww I was exhausted when I got out. 7:45-2:45 ish...

What are your general comments?
