What impressed you positively?

Texas Medical Center, McGovern community/students/faculty - everyone was very likable and genuine

What impressed you negatively?

Safety in Houston, commute to the school/living arrangements

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. It was a very low stress day. Laura Avery did an incredible job! I would say, if you get the unlucky draw of afternoon interviews I feel for you. I interviewed in the morning but after that tour (1 hour of walking) I was surprisingly worn out

What are your general comments?

TMC is literally world-class. McGovern culture seems super collaborative and legit. The food all day long was honestly the BEST I've had yet. (chick fil a breakfast --> fajita lunch)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep doing what you're doing! The emphasis McGovern places on learning from and implementing student feedback is unique and exciting.
