How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this site, practiced with a list of frequently asked questions in medical school interviews.

What impressed you positively?

Filomeno Maldonado (Filo) is an absolute asset to A&amp;M Medical School and makes everyone feel so comfortable. Also, the interview day was very well organized.

What impressed you negatively?

3rd and 4th year are in Temple. Temple is probably one of the most boring places on earth.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Filo is an absolute asset to this medical school and makes you feel completely at home and makes sure you are comfortable throughout your time both in College Station and in Temple. I also think S&amp;W Hospital in Temple is quite underrated. However, I'm not too gung-ho about the idea of moving to Temple. Without a doubt, A&amp;M is a young but rising medical school and I would not be surprised if it becomes more prominent in the coming years.
