website, SDN, went to the night before outing (go to it - the students are fantastic) and stayed with a student
What impressed you positively?
the students are great, the spirit and the ideals of the medical school are great - if you want to be a great clinician- go here. this school produces good, caring doctors who also do VERY well in the match.
What impressed you negatively?
the student tour guide IS on the admissions committee - just a heads up.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
they do not make you go to harligin - but it is optional. also, the second year is systems based with cumulative exams for each system - great way to prep for the boards.
What are your general comments?
fantastic. this will be my number one choice our of all the texas schools. the emphasis on patient care and producing quality, caring doctors is very important to me. Also, the school is in a great part of San Antonio - that's always a plus. And, the students here are great - the most normal, laid-back, interesting people that i have met at any of my medical school interviews.
