The students who spoke to us during lunch didn't seem to care much about answering our questions.
The curriculum and the thought that went into it, and the admissions faculty who were incredibly fun and caring.
Re-read my secondary, FAU website, SDN
Great school, campus, friendly environment, awesome simulation center.
THEY ASK ONLY BEHAVIORAL STYLE QUESTIONS
3rd and 4th year rotations are all over the area.
The students seem really excited about the school and have a lot of resources to help them through it.
SDN, looked up behavioral style interview questions, went over my app
That it would only be behavioral questions
Almost everything else, maybe I came into the day with high expectations but I was much less impressed with what the school and the students considered their selling points than they were. Everything seemed pretty standard especially the sim lab.
small group dynamic and PBL
Read over my app and prepared for the most common interview questions
I loved it. They seem to really care about their students and to have an extremely well designed curriculum.
I am not from Florida, I was expecting humidity, but I did not really know how to handle it. Ladies, research how to handle your hair and makeup in humidity. And everyone give yourself extra time to arrive and cool off inside before you have to enter the room with everyone else.
Facilities where messy. But it is very clear that the students USE all of the study rooms and work together, and that they have decent food options on campus.
Extremely caring faculty, incredible curriculum, small class size
Read about school, reread application, mock interview, researched sample questions, talked to myself in the car, told myself I am a perfectly good applicant and not to worry!
Know and believe that you are qualified to become a physician so questions about your qualifications won't bother you. Take your time and stay calm.
The interview day starts before 10am - there is NO arrival time even though it will say it on the schedule.
