How did you prepare for the interview?

DId a mock interview with a FL professor.

What impressed you positively?

The size and diversity of care at shands is ridiculous. There is no feild that is not well represented there. The students and faculty were all great. Admissions people were up front about statisitcs of acceptance. 55% of interviewees get accepted.

What impressed you negatively?

My intervieweers didnt let on what they thought of me. Couldnt read them. One interview lasted 35 minutes out of an hour given, the other lasted 85 minutes out of 60 given so go figure...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The style of interview was one that supprised me. I have taken many philosophy classes and was looking forward to nailing ethical questions that never came. It was purley conversational. It is hard to rememer any pointed questions even though its only been two days since the interviews.

What are your general comments?

Wonderful. I had known that UF was my top choice in FL merely because of reputation,location, and the power house of a teacing hospital, but I learned so much more at the interview. The faculty and students we met impressed everyone in my group. I was suprised at the other interviewees though. Everyone was tense and shy. I dont know whether that is a good thing in their eyes or not, but i was defintly not nervus or shy. It was my first interview and my first time seeing a hospital like that and i was extremly happy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
