What are your general comments?
Great experience overall! Please let me in! Now to those who are interviewing there in the future, Do not stay at the Days Inn!!! The hotel is right next to the freeway, so you may have a difficult time getting to sleep. The customer service is terrible. Their "complimentary" shuttle stands a high likelihood of being full, so you may end up late to catch your plane if you depend on it. They do not actually have irons in the rooms (despite what they advertise), and you may not have access to one b/f your interview. Rooms are not very nice either.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Don't worry about the questions, just be relaxed and enjoy the day. My interviewer was extremely friendly and personable. My impression is that Miami is genuinely interested in getting to know the candidates that they have invited to interview, both as individuals and as future physicians.
How did you prepare for the interview?
reviewed primary and secondary application, read interview feedback on SDN, kept up on current events
What was the most difficult question?
What is your favorite color?(What does this say about me?)
What impressed you positively?
The facilities were amazing. Great teaching philosophy and approach to educating future physicians. Almost unbelievable number of clinical and research opportunities available. Very friendly and outgoing staff/medical students. Diverse patient population. Great lunch!...no boring sandwiches, lunch was turkey, stuffing, and even pie!
What impressed you negatively?
I tried to be as critical as I could when evaluating the school, but I honestly did not find any major faults with the program, facilities, or school in general. Now, the Days Inn across the street...that was a different story! Oh, cab fares are on the high side too (20 cents per 1/11 mile), so have cash avail if you wanna check out South Beach and town while you are there.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The recommended hotel to stay at, Days Inn, is terrible! That it really would be a relatively stress free day!
