How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the website; margarita the night before.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are amazing! I am very interested in emergency medicine, and I was very impressed with Parkland's adult ER. The student center is amazing, and the carrell system is pretty spiffy! Ran into a student on the way to my interview...he wished me the best of luck, and I wished him the same with his cardiology exam. Very friendly students!

What impressed you negatively?

Parking was difficult to find, although that might just be because I am unfamiliar with the layout of the campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The location is a little tricky, especially if you aren't familiar with the area. There are no real signs to indicate where the school is.

What are your general comments?

I had a really great time...definitely the best interview (out of 6) that I have had thus far.
