How did you prepare for the interview?

Read studentdoctor.net and SW student manual; talked some to other students.

What impressed you positively?

Only negative point students thought was that the class size was too big (235). And that about 50% were married. So overall, all students I talked to were fully satisfied with their basic and clinical education.

What impressed you negatively?

I don't like Dallas.

Texas interviews are much more lax. Make sure you take yourself seriously, though, just in case the easy-going nature coaxes you into letting down your professionalism.
