How did you prepare for the interview?

studentdoctor.net, went over sample questions with my speech teacher, talked with doctors at Shands (I attend UF for undergrad so had this opportunity)

What impressed you positively?

Everything. The students all were happy with the school and eager to offer their input. The faculty are all very committed to teaching and patient care. The school has developed many simulators and various patient care facilities so that the students are well prepared in many situations.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. The interview was laid back and the facilities and faculty are amazing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my shoes were going to give me blisters! The tours go to various places within the complex (which is very large and encompasses several buildings) so try to find comfortable shoes. And try to find out about your interviewers- the med students were great about giving everyone a heads up during lunch so you could know what to expect.

What are your general comments?

It was great, very impressive of the school as a whole. The day is set up so you meet the director, have lunch, do one interview (1 hour), tour, 2nd interview (1 hr), tour and then a final "debriefing". The schedule helped to take the pressure and anxiety off since there was other things to do also.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
