How did you prepare for the interview?

Prepared by looking at lists of FAQs and how I would answer them. Knew my application well.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone there was amazingly nice. So much time off for students, yet they continue to be one of the best med schools in the country (9 months off to do whatever you want, such as study for boards, chill on the beach, do research, etc. They have some of the highest board exam scores in the nation. Such a diverse group of people, amazingly friendly and laid back yet hardworking at the same time. Clinical facilities at Baylor are unmatched in terms of their hands on patient care. Nice mix of VA, private, public hospitals, as well as outpatient clinics in the Texas Medical Center makes this an absolutely incredible place to learn medicine. Many faculty are tops in their fields.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing at all. BCM continues to be my top choice if I am fortunate enough to gain acceptance.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

12-1 PM-Introductory Statements 1-4 PM-Interviews, Basic Science Tours 5-7 PM-Clinical Tours, Life in Houston and Curriculum Presentation 7:30 PM-Optional Student/Applicant Gathering at Two Rows Bar and Grill

What are your general comments?

Both interviewers were laid back, and mostly asked questions from my AMCAS application. I received many positive vibes from both of them.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
