"The style of interview was one that supprised me. I have taken many philosophy classes and was looking forward to nailing ethical questions that never came. It was purley conversational. It is hard to rememer any pointed questions even though its only been two days since the interviews. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Wonderful. I had known that UF was my top choice in FL merely because of reputation,location, and the power house of a teacing hospital, but I learned so much more at the interview. The faculty and students we met impressed everyone in my group. I was suprised at the other interviewees though. Everyone was tense and shy. I dont know whether that is a good thing in their eyes or not, but i was defintly not nervus or shy. It was my first interview and my first time seeing a hospital like that and i was extremly happy."
