People who have interviewed - were you sent the list of doctors that you were interviewing with before interview day? Or were you given them when you checked in that morning?
 
Any tips for getting off the waitlist and when they might start letting people off it?

I recall from my interview that about 50% of interviewees are ultimately accepted, either from the waitlist or outright. Unfortunately I don't remember how those 50% are distributed between outright and waitlisted. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Most of the waitlist movement is going to happen after the traffic deadline at the end of April.
 
Random tidbit I learned today, according to USNWR (which I personally don't put much stock in), UFHealth @ Shands is now tied with Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville as the best hospital in Florida.

UFCOM also remains the highest ranked school in FL at #40.
 
I'm an OOS reapplicant this year, interviewed here last year and absolutely loved the school. I was complete around 8/15 this cycle after not being complete until 12/10 last cycle (stupid, I know). Should I give some kind of post submission update restating my desire to go here? I don't really have any new activities to discuss so it would mostly just be me telling them how awesome I think they are.
 
Instead of sending any sort of application update, I received an email from UF telling me to apply to some online graduate certificate program...
Guess I have no hope this cycle. [emoji28]

How long after the interview does it usually take for them to get back to you with a decision?

My understanding is that they meet every two weeks or so, so it depends on when you interview. I got my decision 3 days after my interview.

I find out today if I'm accepted.
This is me anytime I get an email or phone notification.
