What impressed you positively?

"Gainesville was a pretty nice small town, much better than what I had heard about it.. P/F grading system was a plus, and students were very nice and helpful with all our questions, admissions staff was super nice also. Unique interview day experience, emphasis on patient-centered care was important." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The majority of the presenters weren't even there. They were all out of town and apparently forget about being there. It made it seem like they didn't take things seriously. Also, the person that was supposed to give our tour wasn't there so they had first years give us the tour and there was a lot we didn't see ( no tour of the hospital or the lecture halls). Maybe it's because it was the first interview day but things seemed a bit disorganized. Also, the students told us at least 3 times this story about this student giving a tutoring session for the genetics test for other students because he had a pHD in genetics. In the closing presentation of the day, a student came to us for the explicit purpose of telling us that same story. It seems like they were trying really hard to dispel that gunner reputation they had/have. Also, since their curriculum is pretty new they still don't have it fully planned out, they couldn't tell us what we'd be doing beyond the first year, just very vague descriptions." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

"Nice admissions staff, interview day is packed with a lot of info about the school. I liked Gainesville, but if you're one of those people that loves the big city life, probably not for you. The hospital seemed nice, a bit old but I didn't get to see much of it. I was impressed with the school on my interview day because it was my first interview, and I didn't have anything to compare it to. In retrospect, after comparing it with other schools I have interviewed at, I'm not as impressed as in that first day. Overall, still a great institution to get a medical education, and students there seemed very happy with the school." Report Response

"Double check the room numbers for the interviews printed on our schedule. The room number of my first interview did not exist and luckily, there was someone near that made a room available for the interview. Another student with the same problem had to have the interview outside (it was 90 degrees that day)." Report Response
