How did you prepare for the interview?

Review of AACOMAS application.

What impressed you positively?

Stellar board scores; 100% pass rates multiple years.

What impressed you negatively?

Didn't seem as friendly as other schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There was an MMI session after the group interview. The group interview was low stress, the MMI was a little higher stress.

What are your general comments?

There is a dress code, there is a no food/drink policy (the school is incredibly clean), the PBL pathway definitely isn't for everyone and they seem to look for students who would truly fit PBL successfully, the Bradenton area is beautiful and near lots of beaches, the students we met seemed relatively happy, and you don't dissect in anatomy but you have the option to dissect during your first summer.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None to note. Great experience.
