💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about X from your application. (x being research, clubs, volunteering, hobbies, etc.) Be ready to intellegently discuss anything you mentioned on your application.
What do you think the biggest healthcare problem in the US is?
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? (asked twice) What would you do if you couldn't practice medicine?(asked twice) What do you do for fun? (asked twice)

What was the most interesting question?

Only one interesting question. All others were the generic questions you hear all the time. Some people were asked about their favourite color... but I was asked about the price of a pint of beer in England.

What was the most difficult question?

Tell me about yourself. (this is right after I sat down). I blabbed for about 5 minuutes, then asked if he'd like me to take my autobiographical escapade any particular direction. After a few moments thought, he suggested I focus on 'things that will help me get into medical school.' So I blabbed somemore, until we finally went off on a tangent. Thing were good from there, but I would suggest you be prepared with a plan if they just ask you to sit down and start talking.

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, this interview feedback, archives from the old interviewfeedback.com, brushed up on current events, ethics, and my old research I had partially forgotten.

What impressed you positively?

The overall happiness of students and facualty. Everyone got along well, and really made me believe in their low-stress approach.

What impressed you negatively?

Not much. Some talks were a bit repeptitive. But that is stretching it. Oh, and Gainesville is hot as hell, but we knew that already.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That preparing for generic questions can be a good idea.

What are your general comments?

Loved UF, but I already knew that. It followed a basic format of 1hr intro, 1hr lunch, then 2x 1hr interviews, and 2x 1hr tours. However, the tours and interviews last more like 30-45 minutes.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
