Tell me about yourself, and why you want to be a doctor.

Why don't you want to be a "______", like your dad?

What was the most interesting question?

Tell me about a happy time in your life.

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing really difficult at all. I guess the question I was least prepared for was "how do you plan to balance family life with medical school." I should have seen that one coming, though.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the UTMB website and course catalog, this site, and talked to people who had interviewed there before.

What impressed you positively?

Nearly everything. Student and faculty friendliness, innovative curriculum, facilities, 3 free meals, pre-interview social, Galveston, etc., etc.

What impressed you negatively?

Um, not much. Our tour guide was a bit stressed, but I think that was because she was a mother of a two year old who lives 45 minutes from campus, just coming off the OB/GYN rotation. The associated hospitals did not have the "exciting" feel of say, Parkland in Dallas.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I loved Galveston, and I really think I may be ranking it #1. The people there were awesome. I never thought a medical school could be so chill.
