What impressed you positively?

Students were bubbling over with positive attitudes toward the program. They all seemed very happy, well cared for, and to be carrying low stress loads.

What impressed you negatively?

The second tour wasn't really well organized- we walked toward one of the wards and then the student told us we couldn't go in because HIPPA regulations prevented it, so we just sort of stood around in the hallway asking random questions about the school.

What are your general comments?

The day was very informative and they do a great job selling the school. I've applied to a lot of big name schools, but UF is my first choice now. Robyn Sheppard is terrific- such a sweetheart, but you probably already know that if she's called to tell you you've gotten an interview. The orientation gives you a lot of important info about UF, but I would have liked it to come later in the day- it takes a long time to actually get to your first interview. I guess they're trying to warm you up first (sort of a rolling start), but you might have to wait almost 4 hours from the start of the day before you get to the first interview. Both of the interviewers, however, we're extremely down-to-earth, humble guys (even though they're both heavy-hitters in their fields) and the interviews were very relaxing and conversational. I actually wanted more time for both of them because I was having such a good time. My best advice would be to RELAX and be yourself- its not necessarily what you say, but how you present yourself that's most important.
