How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed the website, AMCAS app, and secondary.

What impressed you positively?

How beneficial having access to Jackson is to your development as a medical professional.

What impressed you negatively?

We were toured by an MS1. Did not feel like she did her best to "sell" me on the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interview does NOT take place on the Coral Gables campus. Mapquest more than 24 hour before your interview. ACCOUNT for traffic.

What are your general comments?

I still really like the school, but I did not feel like they did a great job of convincing me of why I should choose them over another school. There are many perks to going to school in Miami (and at the UMMSM at that), but in comparison to other schools, I felt pretty "foreign" on campus (if that makes sense). I had a harder time picturing myself there...just felt a bit disconnected. The interview day made me feel like I was just going through the motions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Change of "holding" room. Chairs were a bit too close together...it made it difficult to speak to one another. Felt pretty crammed.
