How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN,google on DO philosophy/ reasearch/ opportunities

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers actually familiarized themselves with my application, students were encouraging, the gross anatomy labs are awesome, the simulated patient is very high tech.

What impressed you negatively?

There's a ghost in the gross anatomy lab?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I had some friends from undergrad there. Also, TCOM ranks applicants soon after the interview. The dual DO/ MPH program only needs an MCAT score (not gre). Ft. Worth is very safe & parking is available (and cheap). Finally: even with a perceived or actual stigma against DOs, the thing to remember is that: at the fancy rep dinners, everyone (DOs and MDs) eats the same steak. :)

What are your general comments?

My first interviewer, who I found out later was on the adcom, was incredibly fun to talk to and very encouraging - he told me exactly what I would be rated on & when I gave a correct answer. Then we got a tour and TMDSAS Match summary, a yummy off campus lunch, another nice interviewer, talked with an MPH administrator and the DO/ MPH degree, toured some clinical classes.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
