What impressed you positively?
The entire interview process ran like clockwork. There was plenty of time and a variety of students to ask questions to. The students gave an impressive tour and were very honest in answering questions. You could tell how much everyone loved the school.
What impressed you negatively?
Lack of conversation in the interview. The interviewers didn't ask questions off my responses, it seemed they had to stick to a pretty strict script of questions so overall I didn't get the sense that they knew who I was as a person by the end.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Attending the student panel isn't necessary if you take advantage of asking questions during the tour.
What are your general comments?
The facilities are fantastic, and there is a program for pretty much every interest.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Faster turnover time for decisions, UF takes quite a while for interview notification and acceptance notification.
