No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my personal statement, secondary, this website, and read-up on medical issues.

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed incredibly enthusiastic and genuinely happy at the school. As everyone else has said, Filo is a HUGE asset and really embodies the core values of the College of Medicine. Also, the Financial Aid lady knows her stuff, so pay attention. They want their students to succeed and go all-out in helping them do so with an incredible support network and wonderful resources. The students seem to share and work closely together.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, really. Some students didn't show-up at the VA Hospital to give tours, but it was due to a misunderstanding.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Scott & White in Temple is one of the US News' "Top 10 teaching hospitals" in the nation. You begin a "preceptorship" during your second year in which every Tuesday from 1-5 pm, you work with one physician and go to clinic with him/her. A&M was one of the first schools in the nation to start this program.

What are your general comments?

Very relaxed! I know everyone says this, but it is true...just be yourself! They are not antagonistic interviewers at all.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
