What impressed you positively?

"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. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The one thing...the tour! We had two 1hour long tours and I still didn't see anything. The medical school tour was by two first-years that could not walk and talk simultaneously! We stood outside the library and they told us about the different sites for about 30min and then by the time we got to the Multi-Disciplinary labs it was time to rush back to avoid being late for our interviews. The hospital tour was much better but the tourguide was a 4th year that kept saying she was extremely tired. I felt bad for her and wished we could stop so that she could get some rest. All in all, the sites I saw were absolutely amazing, it's just that I wanted to see more." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That Gainesville really isn't so bad. After my interview, my hosts took me out to dinner and a movie and showed me around downtown Gainesville. It really wasn't that bad at all. I could do that for a couple of years." Report Response
