What impressed you positively?

Newly renovated facilities (thanks to the flood), friendly and warm atmosphere. The 2nd tour I took of MD Anderson was from a student who was a former patient at the cancer center. Really left a positive impression. Also the food was good and my interviewers were considerate and kind and seemed geniuinly interested in me.

What impressed you negatively?

The student of the 1st tour said some negative things about the school across the street. I don't care much for elitism in the first place so I don't want to be in a place with a bunch of people with inferiority complexes. Luckily this wasn't so about the rest of the students I met, just this guy.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really.

What are your general comments?

Extremely positive, one from a pediatrician and one from a phd. The first didn't ask a whole lot but seemed to try to sell the school and told me how they evaluated me. The 2nd interviewer we talked for over an hour about X countries health system vs the US. Overall great so I ranked this number 1 in the texas match.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
