He tried to just degrade me and the school I went to for undergrad saying ''an easy school like this.'' Referring to my school. My jaw hit the floor and was in disbelief thinking why did they ask me to come here. He kept going with questions about my file and never let off of them. I mean if you have one or two marks that need explaining that is fine but this person was acting so rude and obnoxious about the interview. He would ask me rhetorical questions that with my super highlighted file I knew he knew the answer too. What really was upsetting about the whole thing is that the person that interviewed, FROM and IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL, before me said that ''oh this guy is so nice.'' NO HE WASN'T which makes me question UF's whole attitude toward people of small name schools as they only let people in from IVY LEAUGE Schools or with a 40K donation from rich republicans that can get Charlie Crist to write a letter and have their kids get in without MCAT's or an application.

I wanted to make sure I had a solid answer with plenty of support for this question. I had been reading a national newspaper for months beforehand so that I would be up to date with all the latest news about healthcare. This was a huge assett when responding to questions dealing with HMO and malpractice. I also read up on everything about the school. I read the school's entire website. Most importantly, I not only read all of this material, but I thought about it critically. I asked myself questions and evaluated how I felt on many specific points.

"They knew my application inside and out, very conversational" More from this Member | Report Response

"The interviewers knew my application inside and out. This was the only school I have interviewed at so far that truly cared about my application and read over it. They remembered minute details that I had mentioned in my application and both spoke on my personal statement and secondary application, even quoting particular points of it and asking me to elaborate. So so organized and everyone is so passionate about the school's vision and mission! Loved the director of admission's presentation as well about the art of medicine." More from this Member | Report Response

"The new curriculum, campus, new buildings and hospitals being built" More from this Member | Report Response

"The students were genuine and extremely happy to be at the school. One student even mentioned that the balance between the rigorous material and the great student lifestyle makes him forget he's in med school at times. The school is a true pass/fail school, which eliminates competition and promotes a family-like culture. This in conjunction with UF's new integrative, team-based curriculum is making a great impact on student learning and performance on STEP 1. During interview day, they showed us a chart of UF's performance vs the National Avg for USMLE Step 1 and each year (especially since starting the new curriculum a few years ago) UF students performed well above the national average. Also, UF is trying to become a Top 10 Public institution and due to this they have a great amount of funding coming in and a lot of that money is being used on the medical school and students. I will be entering as the class of 2019 and when we start they will have a start of the art new medical school building that is built to really help us succeed. UF blew me away, not exaggerating, and cannot wait to start. They put their students first and you can tell! OH! And they took us out to eat for dinner the night before the interview, for FREE at the restaurant the Swamp with medical students! So awesome." More from this Member | Report Response

The students there are helpful and even led me to different parts of the med school when I became lost! They are happy for the interviewees--we were the first group of the class of 2009. Also, Robyn and Denise had written for each interviewees, their schedules and directions how to get to the rooms where our interviewers would be. No maps and leave us alone--very nurturing and hand-holding, it seems." More from this Member | Report Response

The faculty are so supportive, the students are happy and LOVE it there, the classrooms are beautiful, and the hospital is really, really nice. About the location: the fine arts there are really incredible, and it's a liberal college town, and cost of living is so cheap! Unlike other schools, the students I met all wanted me to come there- they really love it and love the education they recieve. It really is top notch! " More from this Member | Report Response

One last thing - this interview day is really low stress, I got the sense that they were interested in me as a person and not just what I wrote in my applications.

Students seem very happy and upbeat despite being in the middle of tests." More from this Member | Report Response

"Being around the students even after they had finished their exams for the semester--they were still very enthusiastic about medical school and attending UF. I'm interested in pursuing mission opportunities during and after medical school, so I was excited to find out the plentiful opportunities that exist through UF. Technology is pretty good too. " More from this Member | Report Response

"i go to this school for undergrad. the quality of the faculty stood out most during the tours and interviews. they really were high caliber (academically and personally) individuals; definately above my expectations. there is considerable flexibility in the college if you want to pursue other things, for example dual degrees, opportunities abroad, or other activities that would take a significant portion of your time as a medstudent. very innovative learning tools (STAN human simulator, harrell center) the school is so balanced in terms of research, education, and patient care."

"Both of my interviewers. Tremendously interesting people, and both were very good at actual interviewing. They had lists of questions, but it didn't feel like a quiz. Consequently, I felt very at ease throughout both of them. " More from this Member | Report Response

"Almost everything was impressive. The facilities were kept very nice with many new buildings and units. All the staff members, students, and interviewers were friendly and enthusiastic. STAN and the Harell center seem like wonderful resources. A huge number of students (probably 25) came to have lunch with us and talk about their experiences. This really showed me that the students were excited about the program. I actually enjoyed that the day was from 9-5. Unlike other reviewers on this website, I thought this long day showed that they were willing to take time to show us their school, it made me know that if I go to UF I will be taken care of, and it gave me a chance to thoroughly see what the school has to offer. At other interview days for other schools I felt like I left the school without seeing many of the facilities. I enjoyed both tours and think that if I hadn't gone on both I would have missed out. Plus, the entire day was ontime and very rarely did I feel bored. We saw the cadaver lab, emergency room, PICU, etc." More from this Member | Report Response

"Everything! The day was long but I barely noticed because I was always doing something. When I walked into the room and saw the folder individually prepared for me with my name tag including my Alma Mata, I knew this was going to be a different experience. The admissions staff is extremely professional. The facilities were amazing- particularly the Brain Institute and STAN (the standardized man developed at UF which can mimic several clinical scenarios allowing use as an amazing clinical learning tool). The students (including my two hosts) were phenomenal and the camerarderie is really there. Not just rhetoric! In fact, on my interview day, the second year class sang to the first years before their very difficult head and neck exam (apparently a UF tradition). The Harrell Center, the Maren reading room, the student-run Equal Access Clinic and the annual mission trips to different countries all impressed me. " More from this Member | Report Response

"The school overall is incredibly impressive. The academics are stellar - UF boasts USMLE step 1 scores well above the national average and right up there with all the most impressive ivy leagues. The professors must be doing something right. Students appear to be incredibly happy at their school...they have a sense of comraderie not seen at other institutions and look like one big happy family. The facilities are state of the art and very modern. The anatomy lab visit was very cool, and the Harell Center is excellent (rooms with simulated patient interations for clinical training and testing - you'll see). Shands Hospital is really big. With regards to Gainesville, cost of living is much cheaper than in other places like Miami and Tampa. Tuition at UF is cheaper than other schools and there seem to be numerous opportunities for financial aid." More from this Member | Report Response

"The 4th year med student who interviewed me was extremely passionate about what he was studying - not fake - but sincerely happy about where he, what he was studying, and the education he had received. You could tell he loved it here. The students I met also talked a lot about how the teachers were genuinely concerned with the students. The students also disagreed with comments about UF being "cut throat" when I asked, noting that there are always people who strive to be #1, but that the general atmosphere is more one of students helping students. That is the atmosphere I'm seeking, so that greatly impressed me - and I asked NUMEROUS students regarding the cut throat issue and received similar answers that cut the rumor down. Also, the board scores were extremely impressive, especially the fact that UF students actually take the USMLE on campus & don't have to worry about freak standardized test experiences."

"The thoughtfulness that the staff puts in to the teaching process. They have maximized the students ability to learn and enjoy the medical school by blending problem-based learning with a complete education of the basic sciences. They have invested in a number of institutes and technology for conveyance of knowledge. If you are interested in researching an idea, several students mentioned that the faculty will bend over backwards to get funding and support for your project. I had previously thought that a small town could hardly present a variety of cases to prepare you for residency, but the numerous facilities make exposure to a large variety of cases possible."

You are assigned a family and sent somewhere in the state to complete a preceptorship within your first semester!! Additionally they have STAN and the Harrell center which really help to develop great history taking, and patient skills." More from this Member | Report Response

"UF has so many innovative programs and opportunities for students. During the first year you get off for a month to shadow a doctor and the students do mission trips. Also there is the Arts in Medicine program and a free outreach clinic run by students.

Everybody was supernice and laid back, including the other interviewees. " More from this Member | Report Response

Interviewees were also a good crowd. Students were very cool - the whole 1st year class came out to say hello (or at least it felt like the whole class). But they were nice and helpful - ready to answer questions. Faculty seems awesome and accesible. While we were there, Dr. Gessner gave away these awesome concert tickets to a 2nd year student."

Students are also more than willing to help each other out and their is non of the typical "I can't help you because you are my competition."

"UFCOM seems kinda like a big family. The faculty were very open to us and from what the students say, the teachers are amazing, the deans are caring, available, and personable, and all of the staff are truly on your side. I learned from many students that the teachers will come in on weekends and hover around the study room to help, and they give the students their pager numbers and are so willing to help. Also, the Brain Institute was awesome. We saw the robotic person, and this thing was invented and built by UF biomedical engineers. The guy giving the presentation with it injected it with some drug that made it's muscles twitch, then gave it a muscle relaxer and intubated it, gave it CPR until it died, and the whole time we hear the sounds and beeps of the machines and see the various equipment that you would use. It responds to 200 medicines. Very cool. All the students there were eager to tell you about the school and so many took the time out of their day to come brag about their school. The curriculum is integrated, so you study the same topic from 5 different angles (in different classes). Gainesville is a small town, but because it is home to one of the biggest and best universities in the world, many big time attractions can be found there (or at least go there- like sports, concerts, famous speakers, etc).
