What impressed you positively?

I was interviewed by a physician that was new to the school who has been a residency director in a competitive field for 10 years. Seems like they have put together an impressive faculty. All cadavers are CT scanned before being dissected, all imaging is available one flat screens at end of dissection table. Facilities are beautiful, would be a nice environment to study in. Admissions committee is honest, up front on policy, and say it like it is. Dean German has a huge vision and it is being realized. A lot has already happened and a lot is going to happen in coming years. Good amount of prep time for step 1.

What impressed you negatively?

Lake Nona is somewhat isolated from the rest of Orlando. I needed gas after the interview, closest gas station is 3-4 miles away. Clinical sites are in downtown, most students move to downtown for 3rd and 4th years, but I would really prefer not to have to move.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I felt pretty prepared and the day went as planned.

What are your general comments?

Seems like a great school, would love to go there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No Suggestions, this admissions office is the most professional and up front in their procedures of all the schools I've applied to.
