What impressed you positively?

The great facilities and teaching as well as the general positive attitude in students.

What impressed you negatively?

The 1st interview was hard to get to on time (it was across the street from Shands). I knew where I was going and barely made it...Suits were not meant for jogging ;) My 1st interviewer was great but the second was a bit dry and dull. She had a legal pad with all her questions written out and little spaces to jot down my answers. I talked as much as I could but she said very little and just flew through her list, leaving about 30 min left over. Then I asked a bunch of questions. In the end it wasn't much of a conversation.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you might get one of your interviews with a 4th year, which I would definitely prefered over the doctor I had.

What are your general comments?

The overall interview day is setup well and the school is great. The students are awesome. If you get an interviewer like mine it would be a good idea to get some practice talking to a brick wall or other inanimate object.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
