⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

1 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

Two interviews, two tours, lunch, and a couple of presentations by the admissions staff. A typical interview day, but the interviews WILL BE an hour apiece, so be ready to sit and talk your head off. Both interviews were extremely conversational, so if you want to avoid being drilled, try and gear the conversation towards your accomplishments and goals (the stuff they want to know!). Just insert tangents where appropriate ;)
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What do you do for fun?

What was the most interesting question?

How do you feel about the present state of medicine?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Skimmed over SDN, my personal statement, and the essay they asked for in the secondary application.

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing difficult.

What impressed you positively?

The faculty and students were the nicest ever. Everyone here really loves their school!

What impressed you negatively?

UF seems to be a little bit competitive in the didactic years. Not like other schools that try to bring students together to help everyone else learn, but some students will thrive in this type of system.
