⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

No change 😐

What are your general comments?

This is probably the least impressive of the UT schools. Of course, I will be thrilled to be there if this is where I get matched to however
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me about yourself, other standard stuff

What was the most interesting question?

What do you think the opportunities for pursing public health are here at UTSA? (I'm currently in a MPH program and is what I plan to pursue as a MD)

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, thought about my responses to potential questions

What was the most difficult question?

It was all pretty standard

What impressed you positively?

The students love their school and were very helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

The fact that you have to go to Harlingen to get one-on-one experiences. You can get this at other school without having to move. Also, most Texas medical schools have changed their curriculum a long time ago to reflect the current trends in teaching medicine. This school is only changing their curriculum because their accreditation agency said they have to.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Warning: This is the most confusing medical school campus I have ever been to. Allow plenty of time to get to your interview just in case. In fact, one of the other interviewees became lost and ended up in a locked mental ward!
