No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Studied the website and medical current events like crazy! (this was my first interview so I was quite naive)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students that we met seemed very positive and supportive. They made it seem like there is a very tightly-knit community. All the facilities were new or renovated since the flood took out a lot of buildings.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The medical center is huge and crazy. There is no parking. Their board scores were under national average last year. The administration and faculty were avoiding discussion of the board scores like the plague.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Relax. That's all you can do.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

This was my first interview so I was not sure of what to expect. I probably studied up on the school too much because I wasn't presented very many opportunities to flaunt my knowledge in the interview. They really just want to get to the heart of who you are and occasionally ask you a hard question from which they will be able to judge your ability to respond and stay composed. I came out of there very excited and positive about UTH, but my later interviews turned out to be the same thing.
