How many people usually apply to the USF SMP
I emailed Dr. Hinckley last Thursday to ask. He said that they are currently trying to decide on the dates for the second look, and it will be announced when they do.
is it wierd/ unusual to receive an interview invite from UF, but completely get the cold shoulder from both FSU and USF...??? I just dont get it.😕 Im in-state and I really am intersted in both of those schools, I went into this thinking I had no chance at UF but a fairly decent chance at the others. Now I only have one in-state interview.😳 ..why does my state despise me so?

I know that last year 70 students applied and 15 got in. This year they are going to accept 15 again.
Good luck!!!
What do you think is holding you back at this point?
Wow. I see. Do you know how many have applied this year?
Good luck in the whole process.
No change here. 🙁
Same here too....I cant get enough eyelashes to fall out or fountains to throw coins into!!
Same here man...
I'm hoping for a USF interview, but each day that goes bye it looks worse and worse. 🙁
Has anyone gotten in off the FSU waitlist yet?

Congrats! 🙂
Do they only give out interviews on a monthly basis? When is the next time they make interview decisions?
I got my rejection email from UF today 🙁
I got mine a while back and it was a top choice for me with it being my alma mater. Oh well, whenever I make donations to UF, I'll specify that it can be used for anything, but the College of Medicine and Shands. 🙂![]()
I wish they'd just send me the inevitable rejection and get it over with.
I think im the only florida resident who didn't apply to FSU or UF.I wish they'd just send me the inevitable rejection and get it over with.

LOL, well it's nice to know that I'm not the only person who felt like taking my chances and being selective...heheI may be the only one that didnt apply to Miami...🙄 Seems like alot of people are looking to go there.

I always forget gujuMD. Are you in med school? If so, I'm assuming you're at USF and if not, then where to?Not the only one. TPRorgotutor didn't apply to Miami either if you look at his mdapps profile.
also, i've heard of several people applying to everywhere but UF bc of teh competitive nature of UF as being more competitive numerically speaking then the other schools.
miami has the best hospital of all the florida schools and the students at that school for SURE get much more clinical real life experience than any of the other schools, so i wouldnt worry about a clinical center at miami, in terms of patient contact interaction they are ahead of the rest IN THIS CATEGORY because of the extremely busy jackson hospital

From what I remember, Dr Hinkley said " We dont have the luxury of using standardized patients. We have so many real patients here that we have to treat, you practice on real ones." I think they said that you start this within the first few months of arriving once you learn basic techniques from your societies that they put you in.
Miami has a standardized patient program, but it is not used too often, at least during first year. We had a practice physical exam session with standardized patients in mid january and that was the first time we used them. Most of the time you practice with real patients. There are plenty of them at jackson to go around. You start patient contact at about your fourth week of classes. As soon as you start learning the most basic skills (interviewing and taking history) you head over to jackson in groups by society and practice on people. Everyone is also paired with a preceptor which you attend four times per semester. You will be there the whole afternoon working in the office. This experience varies, but my preceptor in particular is awesome and gets me to do everything. As of now I have learned and performed almost every part of the complete physical and special exams (pap smear, venipuncture, injections, diagnostics, etc.). You'll love the clinicals at miami. Additionally we host a free clinic in the underserved little Havana area which students attend and pretty much run. Students do everything at the clinic and the attending physician that night helps guide the whole process.
I always joke with my UF friends and laugh, telling them that the only thing they'll ever see in the shands ER in gainesville is undergrads with alcohol poisoning or people who got bitten by snakes running around in the woods. In Miami, You'll see EVERYTHING.![]()
It's lots of fun.
This is very similar to what USF does. They start preceptorship in November or so from what my friends tell me. And they start learning how to take histories and stuff from the get go of preceptorship. Like with you, it depends on the preceptor in term of how much they let you do. I've met many of the physicians at USF and talked with others when setting up shadowing and even some undergrads have been able to help in suturing who were very qualified premeds and who later got into med school. So that goes to show you that USF physicians and faculty are big in getting the students involved.
why are you so ultra pro USF? i have to say, it seems like your biased to it strongly, did you attend there school, are you planning on attending their school, i know there is something to this
