How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over Barry's website and corresponded with students via e-mail, as well as going over my personal statements and resumes I also worked through the questions in The Medical School Interview

What impressed you positively?

During the campus tour, the podiatry students were working on a lab practical with cadavers lined up along the walls - it was nice to see what I'd be doing. The students all seemed fairly close and helped each other out, from what I could gather.

What impressed you negatively?

Barry's podiatric Medicine and Surgery Program was recently added to the undergraduate university - little undergrads are underfoot everywhere. Also, it was 87 degrees at the beginning of March. I shudder to consider the heat of summer classes.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Everything seemed very laid back and relaxed - though it was a Friday afternoon. I wish that I had had more time to sit down and talk with the students about their take on the program. The facilities were ok, but they're building a brand new graduate sciences building soon, which is sure to be state of the art. There is no graduate student housing, although Barry will help you find a place to live that is close by. In your third year clinical rotations, you will need a car to get to the various hospitals because Miami is so spread out (and doesn't have public transportation).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
