new facilities, huge and high-caliber medical center

Report Response | I was asked this too

my close-minded and cold interviewers, the "texas or bust" attitude

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that baylor is a doctor factory and innovative ideas are not welcome

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Both interviewers were befuddled by the fact that I didn't fit neatly into their conception of what a pre-med is. My grades and scores are very good, so I've spent my time exploring other fields, i.e. political science, education, environmentalism. Instead of being interested in my experiences, they wanted to know why I hadn't spent the last four years behind a bench doing research. Baylor is not a place for people with an interdisciplinary view of medicine or who are interested in being anything more than a researcher with an M.D. or, at most, a surgeon.
