How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interview, reviewed my application materials, perused the FIU website and student handbook, read previous SDN Interview Feedback and Interview Secrets, read a few issues of AMA's Virtual Mentor
What was the most difficult question?
What do you think will be the most challenging thing about medical school?
What impressed you positively?
The school's attitude-- the faculty and staff we met were very friendly and very enthusiastic about the school, and the school itself was built from the ground up with every nuance in mind, with the student's comfort and success always at the forefront. I really liked the Integration of the curriculum. Also, the building is really pretty! :)
What impressed you negatively?
Lots of construction going on; we visited the library and there were only 2 students there studying and they weren't super excited to speak with us (maybe because they were studying...).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wasn't surprised about anything about the school, but I was a bit unprepared for my own interview in that I hadn't prepared good stories or responses for some of the "challenge" or "stress" questions.
