How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

6 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

read this, read the guidebook, but they didn't ask me why FIU so...

What impressed you positively?

location, students and staff were really nice

What impressed you negatively?

it's just weird that they don't have a reputation yet, also they kept emphasizing how great the curriculum was, and no one has taken step ones yet.....

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

IT TAKES TIME TO FIND THE INTERVIEW PLACE ON CAMPUS....ARRIVE REALLY EARLY AND PRINTOUT THE DIRECTIONS WAY AHEAD OF TIME

What are your general comments?

it looks like a fine medical school, but just doesn't have the resources or reputation of a established medical school.....I think I will go here if I don't get in anywhere else (but hopefully I will)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I guess the interview format was a little weird: they had us all in one room and took us out in three groups while the other ones waited in the group
