How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over a list of typical interveiw questions. SDN. Book of interview questions. Read up on current healthcare issues. All of the preparation was a waste of time b/c it seemed like they just wanted to know about me and my personality.

What impressed you positively?

Students. Stress free interviews. Robin Shepard the admissions coordinator is GREAT!!! Interviewers were great and easy to talk to. Positive feedback from an interviewer.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I attend UF as an undergrad so I have had plenty of exposure to the med school and hospital.

What are your general comments?

Start at 11 am, 1 hr of 2 short presentations (financial aid), 1 hr lunch with students, 1 hr tour hospital, 1 hr interview, 1 hr tour educational facilities, 1 hr interview. Great interviewers, relaxed atmosphere, as long as you be yourself you should do great.
