No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read studentdoctor.net, reviewed AMCAS and secondary applications, looked up articles about current medical issues, mock interview

What impressed you positively?

how friendly the medical students were (even the first-years who were taking an 8-hour test that day came out and talked to us on their lunch break); students and faculty seem to have great interactions and medical students are genuinely happy to be there

What impressed you negatively?

the person who was going to show us the simulated patient was late, and so we didn't get to see much of him before rushing off to our first interview

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

to be prepared to answer questions on current medical issues and think about ways to improve the healthcare system

What are your general comments?

interviewing with UFCOM is very relaxed; two one-on-one interviews, I had one with a 4th year medical student and one with a research/faculty member

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
