What are your general comments?

Pretty good overall. I couldn't hear my first interviewer very well and she kept looking at me like I was an alien. The second one was really nice and laid-back and told me about his college drinking days.

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

This site, reviewed application

What impressed you positively?

The architecture! The buildings are v. nice and the library has cute little displays about some of the history behind medicine. Also, Parkland is enormous and you can get all kinds of clinical experience there.

What impressed you negatively?

No patient contact during the first two years. Fairly traditional curriculum. Emphasis on research (which I am not interested in). Also, the students seem a little less than friendly. Maybe just compared to the other TX schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much of a research school SW is. Also, that the rumors about it being really competitive are kinda true.
