"The 2 main bombs FSU COM drops on you during the interview day are 1) MS1 Orientation is in LATE MAY- they cover anatomy over the summer. 2) Selection of location for the clinical years is done by lottery, with married people and parents having the only preferences. Everyone wants Orlando. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The day was short, sweet, and pleasurable as far as med school interviews go. They did a great job matching me with my interviewers- one had attended my undergrad and the other was just a great guy. Both asked thought-provoking questions and I felt they covered good ground and brought out the best in me. This program is not BSing when they say that their faculty is dedicated to the students. Their interactions seemed warm and friendly. Overall I think this school receives less love than the other FL schools due to its focus on creating community and primary care physicians. However, many of the students are interested in competitive specialties such as anesthesia and EM and they claimed that FSU helps them pursue these interests. I left the interview day with a very high opinion of this school and if accepted, would strongly consider attending." Report Response
