How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Visited their website and talked to current students who I knew, MSAR entry, SDN web site.

What impressed you positively?

Robyn Shepperd in the Office of Admissions was the only bright spot in an otherwise dreary interview experience.

What impressed you negatively?

The robotic students I encountered outside of the admissions office. Comparative lack of clinical experiences in the first two years of the curriculum.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Shands Hospital is basically a mid-sized hospital in a little back woods Florida town. Everyone seemed intent on telling me how great it was. Personally, I didn't see any advantage of going to UFCOM other than it's cheap in comparison to other schools. Maybe you get what you pay for!

What are your general comments?

The Admissions staff were very friendly. But once out of the office things got really "pro-forma" including the student tour which was conducted by a student who seemed to be doing me a favor. I think UFCOM is a good school to attend if you're a Florida resident (cheap tuition) and plan to spend your career in a little rural town treating people just like yourself.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
