No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over my application(s), read the MSAR and any online information I could find, talked with co-workers and friends about myself and Miami, etc.

What impressed you positively?

Pretty much everything, my interviewer was a kind and humble man and I enjoyed his conversation. The administrators were friendly, helpful, positive, and engaging. The students seem very happy and seemed more social, outgoing, and cooperative than I would have expected although this was my first interview.

What impressed you negatively?

The humidity, but I could easily get used to it. I'm spoiled with CA weather.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just that the school hopes to have 50% of its class from out of state within the next few years. I also did not know that the President of the University is Donna Shalala (spelling may be wrong)!

What are your general comments?

This is a great school with great people, and definitely not as stressful as the average medical school from my perspective. Miami seems like a great place to live.
