How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the Student doctor network and read a book called "sweaty palms" about interviewing.

What impressed you positively?

I was extremely impressed with the facilities and the area. It was beautiful weather and Fort Lauderdale has a lot to offer. Lynne Crawley was extremely helpful and caring about us being there. The dean was very impressive, very down to earth, intelligent, and a comedian!!!(=

What impressed you negatively?

The tuition to go to D.O. schools in general is extremely high. I didn't feel that the staff were prepared for our interviews. Three people that were supposed to be a part of the day never showed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I would have known that if you told the hotel you were staying at that you had an interview, you get a lower rate. I ended up paying about 25 dollars more than everyone else b/c i didn't show them my invitation. I was extremely displeased with the holiday inn on university drive. I wouldn't recommend staying there.

What are your general comments?

I thought the experience was good overall. It was kinda long...after interviews, you are kinda relieved and ready to head back to your home town. It's such a beautiful campus.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
