read over AMCAS, read SDN and a good night's sleep

What impressed you positively?

how extremely friendly the students, faculty and the admissions staff were. the students were bright yet extremely laid back. amazing financial aid packages. TMC is simply huge yet gorgeous. Definitely one of the best medical centers to obtain medical training.

What impressed you negatively?

the students, and staff, over-emphasized on the amount of free time that they have: instruction from 8-12 daily and 9 months off (for vacationing or whatever). But the still do amazinginly in their boards and matchings. About 90% of the interviewess (of whom there were 55) either went to school in, or are living in, Texas.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they truly over-feed you. That 50-60 other people are to be interviewed on the same day, and that 90% of them are either Texan or go to school there.

What are your general comments?

Great school. Lovely atmosphere that nurtures medical knowledge and training. The students are very HAPPY to be there. A highly-ranked school in a great city, at a cheap price, and within the largest medical center in the world. Baylor just jumped up my rankings.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
