💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What is your mcat score?
What was your favorite class in college?
What was your least favorite class in college?

What was the most interesting question?

What is your MCAT score? And right after that question she stopped the interview, told me that with my activities, life experience, and gpa, that I was guaranteed an acceptance and then bid me farewell....That caught me completely off guard, especially since I'm a natural pessimist.

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing too difficult. I was asked what I was most proud of and well...in a 30-minute interview it is hard to elaborate about something that you're so passionate about and have the other person understand in such a limited amt of time.

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Had an answer (not memorized) ready for any possible question or situation by compiling huge list of questions ever asked. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY OVERPREPARED. You really need not do this, though there are just some you should expect. Know why you chose your major if it isn't the typical science. =)

What impressed you positively?

Friendly people everywhere.

What impressed you negatively?

Lubbock...and the fact that the class splits up after 2 years to either stay in lubbock, go to amarillo, or go to el paso.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Despite claims of how random this whole med app process is, I sometime wish I hadn't applied here or accepted the interview invitation. It cost me more than any other texas school to apply here.

What are your general comments?

Lubbock is a friendly city and tech seems a friendly school. I ranked them 5 out of 7 mainly b/c of preference for UT schools and b/c I didn't want to move to west texas. But it is a fairly good school - with a ton of longhorns. hook 'em...even if in lubbock. =)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
