How did you prepare for the interview?

Read Miami's web site, read interviewfeedback, read over AMCAS and personal statement, ran through ethics and healthcare issues, spoke with some researchers I work with.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The opportunities for clinical training early on and throughout the four years at Jackson Memorial. It's really quite amazing how much involvement the students have compared with other schools. Beautiful research facilities. Great lunch. Incredibly friendly staff and students. Amicable atmosphere for interviews - they definitely don't conduct stress interviews. I really felt they gave me the opportunity to express who I am as a person and I got the impression that Miami really looks at the whole package and not just numbers. Also the new curriculum - an organ systems-based approach that integrates knowledge as you proceed.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of interest in research/advancing scientific knowledge amongst many of the students. I think this will change as Miami becomes more of a nationally recognized school. That said, they do have quite a lot of funding and amazing facilities and interesting research going on. It may just have been the students I spoke with.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew Jackson was the second largest hospital, but I really did not realize how many incredible clinical opportunities exist there.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Miami has a lot to offer and the student seem really happy there and balanced. If you are ultra-competitive, Miami probably isn't the place for you. If you are interested in having great clinical training, the chance to work with under-served communities, and have motivation to pursue research in a laid-back environment, then I think Miami is worth taking a look at, even for out of state students.
