How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the Interview Feedback on SDN, reviewed the UF website

What impressed you positively?

friendliness of all students, quality of profesors (leaders in their respective field), family feeling, big university, college town, inside Shands, huge clinics, LATEST and Greatest technology

What impressed you negatively?

lunch wasn't high quality, had to eat while listening to a presentation

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Whatever time is on your interview invite is what time your interview is (not when everyone gets there) and to have a lot of answers prepared for Why Dentistry? because I felt like I was repeating the same thing over and over probably because this was my first interview

What are your general comments?

I loved UF, I was very nervous because this was my first interview and my top choice school, but just calm down. everyone is very nice and open with their experiences at UF

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
