What are your general comments?

The day begins with a short presentation of the school, and during this time the staff makes it a point to emphasize that this school does not only focus on research. However, each student is interviewed by a factulty researcher, which made this difficult to understand. My research interviewer stared blankly at me as I talked about my passion for medicine and community service-- he obviously didn't get it. But who could expect him to--he's not a doctor!! Additionally, I was annoyed by the fact that several of the questions I was asked dealt with my ethnicity.

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN

What impressed you positively?

VERY VERY Organized

What impressed you negatively?

The student tour guides kept trying to debunk Southwestern's reputation of being competitive. Also, as hard as the staff and presenters tried to be warm and funny, they were not. This school definately lacks warmth and friendliness of the other UT Schools.
