✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

PreMed Playbook by Dr. Gray. Looked over my application and reread my research information.

What impressed you positively?

Facilities, Food, Culture.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How relaxed the interview was. I way over-prepared. They mostly just asked about me then talked about the things I mentioned about myself. They're required to ask one randomized ethical question and everything else is just a back-and-forth conversation about anything. I talked to all of my interviewers about mutual friends/colleagues for a part of each interview.

What are your general comments?

Awesome school. Lubbock gets a bad rap for some weird reason. I kind of want it to stay that way so the snobby pre-meds won't apply and it can continue to be a hidden gem.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None.
