Come prepared with questions about FSU/about your interviewer. Those I interviewed with were alumni and long time staff members so they were able to give a lot of great insight!

Short term notification that I would be interviewed. I was informed one week before my interview that I was given an interview date.
The efficiency of interview day and how low stress it was. They did a separate information session so interview day itself was just the interviews and chatting with other applicants in the main room in zoom.
SDN, recording myself answering questions, mock interview
Honestly I felt disrespected during one of my two interviews. My interviewer asked me a question (not necessarily related to my application) that she definitely knew the answer to but it seemed like she was testing/fact checking me. Just seemed kinda off topic and odd.
Great experience, can't wait to hear back!
Honestly, they referenced "other Florida schools" quite a bit. Still, I understand that they are trying to differentiate themselves and ensure applicants know that they have a specific mission, distinct from that of any other school in the country.
How kind and down-to-earth the interviewers were
not really lol
Do not stress out about this interview, they just want to get to know you as a person and just be the best version of yourself!
You NEED to have a list of questions to ask your interviewers, the Dean, and the medical students. This interview is mostly the interviewees asking questions, so make sure you're prepared to do so
My second interviewer didn't know anything about my application and paused in the middle of the interview to read about me. Though our conversation was really great (since he really just wanted to get to know me as a person) I felt that it was odd for him to do that
Everyone was so nice!! Also, my first interviewer knew my application like the back of her hand so it made the conversation very natural
Reading SDN interview feedback about specific questions they were going to ask
That I was interviewing for a waitlist spot bc class filled on 3/15
Interviewers were retired or strictly Ph.D. no students or physicians interviewed me.
That I shouldn't stress to much about it
N/A
They were very nice and seemed committed to their mission.
SDN questions are spot on! Read Dr. Gray's interview book.
