✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read studentdoctor.net and SW student manual; talked some to other students.

What impressed you positively?

Only negative point students thought was that the class size was too big (235). And that about 50% were married. So overall, all students I talked to were fully satisfied with their basic and clinical education.

What impressed you negatively?

I don't like Dallas.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Texas interviews are much more lax. Make sure you take yourself seriously, though, just in case the easy-going nature coaxes you into letting down your professionalism.

What are your general comments?

One was conversational, the other a blank wall to which I talked and talked.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
