How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read my application, read interviews on this site, read about the school.

What impressed you positively?

This school has lots of money and they want you to know it. The new facilities are beautiful and everyone is very nice and happy.

What impressed you negatively?

Most people take 4 years to finish the Ph.D. One person I talked to did not enjoy their pediatrics rotation.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They provide food but not what you would necessarily call lunch. Eat before or don't forget your wallet.

What are your general comments?

UT Southwestern has a great MSTP program. They definitely take care of their students and all of the students seemed happy to be there. Some of the first year students took applicants on a tour, which I don't think they were obligated to do. The administration puts forth an obvious effort to make their program outstanding. The dean and the codirector of the MSTP program actually interviewed some of the applicants which shows interest from the administration. This was my first interview, so I don't have any other programs to compare with, but I was impressed with the program overall and I would be very happy to attend this school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
