How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the web site for the University of Miami School of Medicine. In addition, I have friends who are current students. Each one gave me ideas of important things to mention as well as quizzed me on questions they had been asked during their interviews. I read through the feedback on studentdoctor.net as well as the standard of reviewing my primary and secondary application information.

What impressed you positively?

I loved the business of the whole hospital system. The University of Miami-Jackson Health System is huge. Many say that if you don't see it during your time at Jackson, it doesn't exist.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The area/location of the campus, but since you had to realize that many great medical schools are in bad areas. It can't be helped given the proximity to these major hospitals.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Parking can be a problem. Make sure you know where you're going.

What are your general comments?

The whole day was absolutely amazing. From the moment I walked in, everyone was nice. I think the best thing is just to be yourself. They have SO MUCH information about you already that they can tell if you aren't being honest. My interview was a conversation instead of an interrogation. I felt like I was able to make a genuine connection with the interviewer, in turn allowing me a better chance to present myself. The students all seem very happy with many stopping by the office in between classes. Dr. Hinckley is very personable as is the rest of the admissions office. By far, I believe it was the best interview I've ever given. Before the interview day, the University of Miami was my first choice. It was reassuring to leave the campus with an even stronger conviction that they are my first choice.
