How did you prepare for the interview?

I read the interview feedback on this site, scoured Miami's web site for info. on programs, etc.

What impressed you positively?

low-stress interview, lunch with students -- the most student contact of any of the schools I have visited, great clinical experience at the hospital -- the busiest in the nation, TALK WITH DR. HINKLEY! (I was very impressed that the Dean of Admissions sat down and talked with us for over an hour), food (the best food of any of the schools I visited -- a hot lunch, which is almost unheard of)

What impressed you negatively?

the humidity in Miami! I loved the school, but I don't know if I can handle the heat and humidity. If those things don't bother you, I definitely recommend checking out Miami, because it is an excellent school, and all of the students seem very happy there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That I would be walking around in a wool suit in 90% humidity.

What are your general comments?

The tone of the interview was generally conversational, and my interviewer seemed more keen on recruiting me to go into anesthesiology than stressing me out with tough questions. My interviewer was from Japan, so we talked a lot about living and traveling in foreign countries and communicating in languages other than our native tongue.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
