What impressed you negatively?

"Although it is not directly related to the interview day, I want to pass along my story with the hopes it may help someone in the future. After submitting my AMCAS application, I received secondary applications either by e-mail or regular mail to all the designated schools, except UF. This really bothered me being UF COM is my school of choice. I went on their admissions web site and at the bottom of one of the pages there was a tip to turn off your spam filter or set up a seperate account with low spam controls. I had never looked in my spam folder figuring if e-mail is in there it's junk. Well, UF had been trying to contact me several times over a two month period. I was so relieved but by then I had 5 days before the deadline to submit the secondary application materials. I recommend following their advise but I would also like to see something this important followed up with a regular mail invitation from the admissions office to those who have been selected for a secondary app. if no contact is made. I can't believe something so trivial as a spam filter almost made me lose this opportunity of a lifetime." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"The various committees that a med student can be a part of at UF. I would have liked to talk to them more about the oppurtunities." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The day exceeded my expections. As a UF undergrad, I was familiar with the campus and hospital but appreciate the tours for those that aren't. The USMLE board scores are impressive and yes the school should be very proud of their and the students accomplishments. The morning gives you the opportunity to think of questions to ask during the interview to show your interest. STAN is a marvel. Ladies; Robyn is not kidding, wear comfortable shoes. All the ladies in my group had blisters by the end of the day. The interviewers make you feel so welcomed and just want to get to know you better and assess your fit into the program. Come prepared with questions to ask, as many people in my group stated the interviewer wanted them to lead the direction of conversation." Report Response
