How did you prepare for the interview?

interview feedback, Baylor website

What impressed you positively?

wealth of opportunities at the Texas Medical Center, curriculum (1.5 yrs basic sciences, clinicals start a semester early), different tracks based on personal interest

What impressed you negatively?

Houston humidity, constant construction at the TMC especially Baylor

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the admissions committee convenes the same afternoon to decide on applicants. Also that Baylor is planning on building their own outpatient clinic that will probably replace The Methodist Hospital for clinical rotations (~2007 completion). BCM interviews 600 people every year and accepts about 300.

What are your general comments?

I had a great time at Baylor. The day starts at 12 noon which was nice. One of the deans makes an intro speech at the beginning and we introduced ourselves as well. The day was pretty organized though it seemed they were cramped for time. The clinical tour wasn't that extensive and didn't really show their facilities in depth. Luckily my cousin is a 4th year at Baylor and he showed me more of the TMC the next day. Interviews were fairly laid back, but I found them to be a little more stressful than my others. Baylor is a great school and the clinical curriculum is outstanding at the TMC (Ben Taub, St. Luke's, TX Children's...). If I get in, I will most likely go there. Can't beat the $6550 tuition, especially for a private school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
