✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

3 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

0 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I studied the questions that other applicants were asked on SDN

What impressed you positively?

Location, and definitely the campus and exercise facilities. The most impressive part of the experience was the dean and being able to hear about his passion for people and medicine, he seemed like an incredible man to be around.

What impressed you negatively?

The actual medical school facilities and resources were not very impressive. My group only got to meet with medical students for a little less than an hour while eating lunch. My interviewers never gave me the chance to ask them questions and neither did anybody else throughout the entire experience. Life and rent is expensive in south Florida which is not very appealing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew that they would provide me with a nice folder and notebook. And I wish that I would have known how non-informative the interview day would have been.

What are your general comments?

Great location, amazing dean and exercise facilities, decent medical program

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
