⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

I had a really, really nice time. The girls of 1920 were so welcoming (and had a GORGEOUS house) and even drove me to and from the interviews. Definitely stay with a student-- you'll get a much more interesting experience. The campus is beautiful as well, and Jackson would be a terrific place to do clinical training.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about yourself (ugh)

What was the most interesting question?

What has been the most important scientific breakthrough in the last century? (I'm a history of science major)

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the website

What was the most difficult question?

How would you address poverty?

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness- everyone seems to be having a great time and to have time to enjoy themselves outside of school. Students are also really involved in the community as well as in health fair outreaches in greater Florida. Also, the administration really seems to care about the students and their opinions about the curriculum.

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the facilities are a little old, but they're really turning most of the main building into rooms for small-group learning and other rooms for medical education. The new curriculum is still a little shaky but people seem excited about it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The grading system is a combo of pass/fail and numerical grading, both of which appear on your transcript.
