How did you prepare for the interview?

Talked to several people. Classmates, friend at UFCOD

What impressed you positively?

the lunch.....

What impressed you negatively?

where to begin. The secretary is awful. The dean of admission is fickle and two-faced. There are 3 people who interview you and sometimes they can be flat out rude. The faculty is split. There aren't enough patients, and you have to fight for a chair.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Wish i had known their policy on the requirements. The previous dean had made it clear that certain courses were acceptable, but now they aren't. Shocking that there is a lack of standard. UF selects those with the scores and not much else. Even if you have a great personality and have a couple of bad grades, you might not get in.

What are your general comments?

don't waste your time.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
