How did you prepare for the interview?

read SDN (thx) and FSU website. read all my applications/secondaries- i forgot what i wrote 4 months ago!! Also read up on the news..

What impressed you positively?

really beautiful- gorgeous brick buildings in cold December. very sweet down to earth medical students showed us around and made the tour fun! really amazing clinical training..

What impressed you negatively?

i am NOT a fan of using the same laptop as everyone else- it sounds HORRIBLE and crashes. I like my own laptop:( i also dont know if there are alot places to study in the area- everything seems so crowded cuz there are so many colleges around.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it wouldn't be so bad- just be the motivated little pre-med that you know you are and they will be very welcoming :)

What are your general comments?

There are just so many medical schools in Florida (i have no idea why!) that I really hope FSU makes a name for itself academically in the next few the years. Its going to be harder with UCF doing so well and with FIU having a similar mission... with that said FSU definately stands out as student centered and friendly!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Great service! WHEN I call I actually get a person on the phone- so I end up calling FSU for everyth
