I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

Didn't really prepare. I had read from SDN that Baylor's interview process was informal so I just focused on relaxing

What impressed you positively?

I was impressed by their openness and their laidbackness. They let us know that with the interview, they were just trying to figure out if we would be a good personality fit with BCM

What impressed you negatively?

N/A

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I'd known that the interview was going to be in the afternoon. I'm a UGTA and I teach a discussion section Friday mornings. I thought the interview was going to be in the morning, like other medical schools, so I had gotten one of my co-workers to cover my discussion section weeks ago. I wish I had known that I didn't have to get someone to cover for me because they don't give you the schedule until a few days before your interview day
